We’re all in on the Wildfire XPrize

We are seeking collaborators for the upcoming XPrize designed to drive innovation around fire detection and prevention.

The Roaring ’20s are Here

A new decade is here. The “Roaring ’20s”. It almost feels like a new era emerging!

One of the things we wanted to do at Robauto is set some moonshot goals for the upcoming years. We want to put to work our platform and years of experience launching community driven technology projects.  Our expertise is in hardware and software. Robotics, Machine Learning and IoT Networks as well as Sensors and Drones are what we can contribute.

Let’s Figure out a Smart Way to Detect and Extinguish Wildfires

Unfortunately one of the things likely to be roaring during the ’20s is our forests. As climates change and human populations expand, wildfire is a growing problem. This is an important issue for everyone. Being a Colorado company, Robauto has even more incentive to help protect and preserve our natural forests. We also think it’s a perfect example of how technology and people can work together to help their communities in a good, non-intrusive way. 

Machine learning, community involvement and IoT networks can help. In fact, detecting, preventing and managing wildfire is the perfect application of sensors, data, intelligence, and automation. We are early in our product development process and need input from fire experts, community members and engineering collaborators. 

Collaborators Wanted: Wildfire XPrize Project

We need your help. We’ve come up with a few general principles we want to adhere to but otherwise are in the information gathering phase. 

  • The solution should involve technology, the natural environment and people.
  • The solution should be non-invasive. We want to keep our wild spaces wild. This includes limiting signals, hardware, robots and people where possible.
  • The solution should detect, contain and assist with extinguishing any fire in any location on the globe.
