Researchers and Students in Türkiye Build AI, Robotics Tools to Boost Disaster Readiness
- In Türkiye, researchers, students, and developers are utilizing AI and robotics technologies to enhance disaster preparedness following a devastating earthquake two years ago.
- Supported by an initiative from NVIDIA and Bridge to Türkiye Fund, projects focus on AI-powered inspection, search and rescue operations, and robotics education.
- The Disaster Response Innovation and Education Grant provided resources like NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kits and funding to aid in the development of various tools and courses.
- Projects include training robots for search and rescue tasks, creating tools for testing water and food contamination, and offering hands-on programming courses.
- An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) equipped with advanced cameras and AI computing from NVIDIA aids in post-earthquake search and rescue operations at Ankara University.
- Students at Hacettepe University are learning robotics skills, including SLAM, using NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kits to build robots for navigation in disaster environments.
- Bilkent University researchers developed a mini supercomputer cluster based on NVIDIA Jetson Nano kits for rapid pathogen screening in disaster zones, helping prevent disease outbreaks.
- At Izmir Institute of Technology, nearly 80 undergraduates are gaining AI and robotics knowledge through hands-on projects with NVIDIA Jetson Nano devices and CUDA technology.
- The initiative aims to increase expertise in AI and robotics, reduce casualties in future disasters, and provide practical solutions for post-disaster scenarios in Türkiye.
- Various academic institutions in Türkiye are actively leveraging NVIDIA's resources and educational support to build innovative, life-saving technologies.
