Innovation in Motion: Rescuing Robotic System

Abstract

Jimi, Alpha, Alex, and Zian embarked on an ambitious Final Year Project to create a rescuing robotic system integrating a flying drone and a Land Rover for countryside search and rescue. Driven by a passion for real-world impact, they combined expertise in computer vision, robotics, and electronics. Zian optimized navigation and object detection, Alpha engineered a rugged, lightweight rover, and Alex developed vital signal detection algorithms. The team overcame technical and time management challenges through collaboration, guidance from professors, and support from PolyU’s resources. Their perseverance and adaptability led to innovative solutions, earning them the Champion and Best Project Award. Through this journey, they gained hands-on skills, learned the value of teamwork, and grew into proactive, resourceful engineers ready for future challenges.
