Episode 208: Navigating Safety: Drones’ New Horizons with Raymond Sheh, Jordan Odell & Syed Izzat Ullah
How can you manage risk and prevent failures?
Hello Smart Firefighting Community!
Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!
Welcome to this 20-episode Texas Robotics Summit Mini Series! This 4 day event (March 4-7, 2024) was hosted at the Reveille Peak Ranch and by our friends at Granite Defense, and showcased the use of robotics (air/water/ground) in public safety via keynote presentations, training scenario stations, roundtable conversations, and more.
In this episode:
- Importance of safety in public safety aviation
- The critical role of communication and interoperability
- Advancing technology through standards and risk management
Hear from Raymond Sheh, the UAS Research Lead at NIST, Jordan Odell, member of NIST-PSCR Mission Critical Communications Group, and Syed Izzat Ullah, a Doctoral Student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
Our guests discuss the challenges and importance of integrating robotics technology into public safety. They highlight the need for safety regulations and robust autonomous drone navigation systems, plus emphasize the role of communication systems and interoperability in public safety.
They also stress the importance of managing risks and conducting root cause analysis when things go wrong, and talk about the role of standards in measuring progress and improving technology. The conversation ends with a focus on building connections and transitioning technologies to benefit first responders.
