AI-powered flying lifebuoy debuts in Hangzhou rescue drill

CGTN2 hours ago0:23

A flying lifebuoy was put to the test during a recent water rescue drill in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. The AI-powered lifebuoy flies directly to the swimmer, then shuts its rotors on contact. Even with a person clinging to it, the device stays stable, buying critical time until rescue crews arrive on the scene. Once the victim is safe, the unit takes off again and returns to base. Developed by Hangzhou's scenic area police, the device uses autonomous navigation to deliver flotation and fly home β€” no pilot required. #coolchina πŸ“Ί Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:πŸ‘‡ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg πŸ‘ˆ Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
