AUDREY - Assistant for Understanding Data through Reasoning, Extraction and Synthesis technology today
on some of the most powerful computers in the world, but as computers develop
but as computers develop and AUDREY becomes more optimized this is going to move
down closer and closer to the edge of where people
interact with technology. First of all it's going to be
perhaps on the fire engines themselves and the vehicles.
Then it will be on the first responders equipment and then perhaps for people at home
in their house and all around them. When First Responders are
attending an emergency, AUDREY can be an extra set of eyes and ears,
with a perfect memory and the ability to
break through smoke or fire derive temperature
heat haze and other capabilities that computers
and technology can do better than us.
AUDREY can detect a First Responders spatial awareness and decision-making
abilities and make them more effective and safer in the field.
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate would like to thank
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Cosumnes Fire Department who conducted
fire experiments in support of AUDREY Assistant
for Understanding Data through Reasoning and Synthesis.
