The airHOUND is an autonomous system for search and rescue personnel to locate, diagnose and maintain contact with individuals lost or stranded. This keeps rescuers out of harm's way and increases the probability of evacuating victims in enough time to save lives.
This thesis project provides insight into why autonomous search and rescue can be a topic of consideration in the field of design due to the many challenges it faces, while also offering a multitude of opportunities that can be manifested and applied to search and rescue in other fields such as urban search and rescue and sea search and rescue.
