the researches and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube, dw documentary, what kind of your options both quick forest fires when natural disasters put human lives at stake. every 2nd counts, artificial intelligence, drones, and robots can by valuable time and rescue operations. how technology can help mitigate natural disasters? that's our topic on the natural disasters cause in all this damage world wide and claim countless lives.

but protecting our sales from them can be tricky. even today is difficult to accurately predict volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. fortunately for us, some animal species have finally to incenses and will even exhibit certain behaviors before catastrophes. please visit the scientist investigating how animals can be used as early warning systems begin this one ellis this we believe the internet of animals has the potential to become an early warning system in the future on owns and loans and steam b. as many animals have better sense has been humans, some species can smell better, others can hear better, and some can even sense danger before it shows that space. it's been documented that before natural disasters heard animals become agitated for change, their behavior to vice, be inbound dot to inbound audrey, for example, in many other parts of the world. and it said that animals ran away from big so non these are essentially wonderful quakes and these are the hippies letting the beam

give on. it's hard to confirm but we're seeing more and more evidence that something like that that play. yeah, he buys it us. it was from cindy income. in some cases, animal started behaving differently many hours prior to a natural disaster. behavioral biologist, martine zukowski and his team are exploring the so called $0.06. as part of the icarus project, the scientist equip animals with transmitters. they couldn't get some yes ma'am. uh, were you able to observe animals around the clock, wherever they are? just be boy. this means that for the 1st time we can receive continuous information about them, which is then fed into the internet of animals. yeah, because i'm inside it and then it works by giving them little electronic devices. i don't recall them wearables for lack of life, even getting in and this wearables for wildlife. the wearable sensors send information in real time by a cell phone network or satellite, and can even exchange it directly effectively from animal to animal. the data is

then analyzed using artificial intelligence. as shown is, these are one tag of kinetic an ear tag on iran authorize. the beauty is that the, your tech doesn't just record data like the something you to worry about. so the animal, but it also interprets the data into the games. all that is we have artificial intelligence and the air tech that we train before has all of that allows the animals to effectively communicate with us and we need see. and in recent times, however, the project has been under norm a strain. the signals for the icarus project were transmitted in part by the international space station in collaboration with russian partners after rushes invasion into cream last year, the cooperation stopped. but there's something new in the pipeline that mixes, yeah, annoyance at the launch will launch on your satellite next year and then have a much better system which we control ourselves indicated in 10 years. and i believe we won't just be consulting the weather forecast. but the animal forecast

report from life on earth itself here, the sound it to animals as early warning systems as an intriguing approach. and really anything that can reduce damage or support rescue teams is worth exploring off of the earthquakes in turkey and syria aid workers. and sniff adults with 1st on the scene. high tech equipment didn't play as big of a role. why? well, experts say 2 things that need it. well, train personal on the ground to operate the equipment and more companies put using such tech in the 1st place. several companies from israel banded together for a rescue mission in turkey. they sent experts and high tech equipment to assist search teams. the startup expand, for example, makes inspection grows which fly into buildings through small openings. before we even managed to rescue a woman a few days off of the quake, a tech like this is gaining traction. check it out. this drone can deploy

a small robots directly on the scene of an accident. the europe and japanese cursor project integrates various devices and a network theme is to make rescue missions rented smoothly as possible. the soft minute tries to underground robotic finder or smart scene here and action is most is this kind of robot here. um that is equipped with different kind of where else like would you be coming to us 2 pieces. we have somebody come over us and we also have lights on so that we can take those well into a collapse building and search for victims. nowadays, there are even sensors that can detect survivors based on smells in the future. teams of these semi autonomous robots could go deep into collapse buildings and search for people. drones of above can offer support to rescue teams down on the ground. somewhere equipped a 3 d mapping technology. others use radar sensors to locate survivors under rubble and air drops merced exactly where they're needed. another

type of ground can establish an autonomous radio network. this allows data to be transmitted even when communication infrastructure is destroyed or overloaded. the system is designed with post disaster victims and response workers in mind. the new technology, we are aiming to increase the safety of 1st responders providing remote access to the work site to remote, the working conditions. and secondly, with the technology we are improving the, the, the speed of detecting victim. it may be years though before this network of robots and drones is fully operational. this rescue robots from china is also still in development. it's quite nimble and can even climb stairs. in a few sure it's sensors can provide information about the scene of an accident and identify potential hazards like gas leak. to do this,

it's equipped with the laser scanner thermal camera and the gas sensor. this snake like robots from japan can navigate through rebels, wrinkled through pipes, and even climb ladders, thanks to its 36 flexible joints. so high speaking i took little 1st of all, these robots are used to enter places that are inaccessible. the humans are places where there's an uncertainty. if it's safe to enter, all the robots can help to measure oxygen concentration or c o 2 levels, for example. and that is the you can evaluate whether you can send in a rescue team, see what's in the car with its agile inflexible frames. the snake robot doesn't get stuck as easily as other robots. to box movements are guided the controllers and the box equipped with a camera on sensors. like other rescue robots fits, future aim is to minimize risks for rescue workers and aid them in finance. survivors when the clock is ticking. these robots perform well in controlled settings, but conditions and disaster areas, uh,

unpredictable. imagine what would happen if the internet and power supply clips. it might be some time before robot dogs can compete with the real deal, says professor costing bands. he's an expert on rescue robots. 2 boys near this one's origin roboto. you would need several robotic dogs working in tandem to come to a disaster side. otherwise, time would quickly run out for them though. the systems today are still very, very slow. i'm so so that's a drawback of robotic dogs. especially when compared to an actual dog that could run across a field of debris relatively quickly. as you know, it was also the other kind of income and so called and we're still a long way from replacing our search dots knows in the sense of smell with sensor technology. for example. it's been that way. nature is a tough act to follow. and we won't be on that level any time soon. how do you not to what ones, state. but on the other hand, we've developed other sensors that don't occur in nature at all on the, on the, on the loose ends. what do you not to dish or cold?

so the advantage is that robotic dogs can be equipped with essentially any sensor, imagine level and transmit data in real time. of course, it will be better to prevent buildings from collapsing at all. luckily, digital technology can help in that regards to these rooftop devices. balance out type ration detect is developed by the italian started up. either have you sliding weights or controlled by algorithms during an earthquake sensors on the walls provide data and the buildings migration. and external control system calculates how much the sliding weight on the roof must move. to counteract the vibrations there by minimizing damage to the building. on like earthquakes, which can cause major damage in the blink of an eye. forest fires develop more slowly, but a small smouldering fire can grow into something uncontrollable here. timing is key

specialist sensors and a i becoming crucial when it comes to bottling forest buyers. every 2nd counts, but buyers are not always discovered and reported right away with the right technologies that time lag can be fixed. a number of companies have begun using artificial intelligence that analyze the satellite, images and sensors on the ground, checking for smoke or shift and thermal improvement data that could indicate a fire. and if one is detected, 1st responders receive a notification. we see learning. we can actually teach the computers to identify on actual flame, or we can also teach that technology to determine if it's using thermal imagery, whether it's a station or claim, perhaps a power station compared to a moving, playing phone, all science. so in that sense of the terms of warranty, which it makes a detection is really important. the 1st stages of

a forest fire aren't always easy to spot. sensors like these can help. in the case of a smouldering fire, smoke can remain trapped under the forest, cannot be undetectable by satellite. but gases are measurable in german start up, dry eyed has developed the system which detects gas build up in the early stages of a fire. the integrated a i can even distinguish fire gases from car exhaust. for example, fire departments are done informed by an independent radio network. it can quickly find the source of the fire using gps before it spreads. the wildfires are hard to control depending on the wind, fires course can suddenly change direction or spread much faster. smart fire maps predict to a firewall act over the next hours. they use deep learning software and factor in the weather. dryness of restitution test fires, satellite and ground sensor data. the

there's also software that simulates the spread of wild fires to help firefighters decide where to concentrate their efforts and planning evacuations. as data get some more precise technology will undoubtedly self a bigger role in managing disasters. people's lives, homes and the environment depend on that. high tech solutions can help rescue workers who put their health and lives on the line. i hope that robots and goals will soon take over the most dangerous aspects of these jobs, even when it's not strictly profitable for companies. what do you think should tax payer money funds, the development of production of rescue tech? tell us, what do you think? by the, [000:00:00;00]

the we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we're rolling about unbiased information. all 3, much done. not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day an in depth look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thing is not just another new. so weekdays on d w. evelyn charmaya,

welcome to my pod cast. last matters that i invite celebrities influences and experts to talk about all plain loved data. and yet today, nothing less the south. all these things in more and the new season of the fuck. com. make sure to tune in wherever you get your costs and join the conversation because you know it's last matter the process, can i get through this break it them. all shay is one of the very few female long whole trunk is in germany. i'm very into my truck, but if i had a putnam tells me i should stop driving, i'd say no, well, i'm not quite to get lost so frustrated. despite that good money and freedom,

hardly any women want to drive longhorn. why is that mean to jim is the mold on the swiss border? it's still very early in the morning when brigitte, a more stats walk. she's a full time drive. the boy him le freight company market. good morning. she greets eddie trunk. it belongs to the company, but any big e, as breakage likes to be known, is allowed to drive it. she will live, eat, and sleep in the trunk, 5 square meters for the next 5 days. no problem. so the 58 year old break it has let this lifestyle some of them said to yes,
