Abstract


This paper presents the development and testing of a remotely piloted life buoy, a new technology for rescuing individuals in aquatic emergencies. The device is equipped with a propulsion system and remote control capabilities, allowing it to be quickly and accurately directed to a person in distress. The buoy also features a flotation collar for the individual to hold onto and a GPS system for tracking and communication. Results from field trials indicate that the remotely piloted life buoy is able to effectively locate and assist individuals in need, with an average response time of under two minutes. The device has the potential to significantly improve water safety and rescue operations.
