Fantastic interview with Professor of Swarm Engineering @sabinehauert on @BBCBreakfast talking about swarm firefighting drones. Learn more by following the link: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg3e… @tas_function @BristolUni #AI #drones #wildfires #firefighter

Wildfires: Researchers hope drone swarms will prevent infernos

UK researchers hope swarms of up to 30 aircraft using AI could put out flames before they spread.

We're really sad that the TAS project is ending this week. Keep an eye out for some blogs about what we've been up to these last few months, in the meantime here's a short video about our work: youtu.be/q3-AnjFQwhQ

I keep saying we want swarms to be useable out of the box. So Tom built a swarm box that can carry 3 DOTS and the kit needed to deploy them. Here he is setting up at the #TASShowcase24. Stop by our booth to talk about trustworthy swarms and our DOTS-in-a-box!
