Human-computer interaction researchers at NJIT and Israel's Ben-Gurion University are exploring how AI-enabled drones could communicate with people at the scene, so that firefighters can save more lives and property.

Firefighters already use drones because they can go where people can't, while human controllers are located someplace safe. But if the drones could get a dose of autonomy, through the clever use of artificial intelligence software, then their usefulness could be interactive rather than only serving as flying cameras and heat sensors.

After a year layoff, one of NJIT’s standout annual research events returned to the campus community this month — more than 30 of the university’s top student-researchers took to their webcams to present their work for a virtual audience at the 2021 Dana Knox Research Showcase, "A Glimpse Into the Future.”
