Join us for an exclusive Collaborative Workshop on Robotics and Flood Challenges! Flooding is one of the costliest and most frequent natural disasters globally, with damages reaching $82 billion in 2021 alone (Munich Re). Between 2000 and 2019, over 4,500 flood-related #disasters were recorded worldwide, according to the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. To tackle this growing challenge, DroneTalks and Innovation Booster - Robotics invite you to an interactive online workshop exploring how robotics can revolutionise flood detection, monitoring, and response. What you’ll learn & discuss: - How drones and robots can enhance real-time flood detection and monitoring - Innovative ways robots can support rescue operations in hard-to-reach areas - How robots can help detect and monitor pollution in floodwater - Solutions for using robots to deploy emergency barriers and repair flood-prevention infrastructure - And much more! Join us on December 10th, 2024, from 13:00 - 17:00 CET, to learn more about how robotics can be used to tackle water and flooding challenges, with the aim of developing innovative solutions and applying for funding opportunities available through the Innovation Booster - Robotics program. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d7XvNna6. Participation is FREE, but registration is required. More information here: https://lnkd.in/dKEz9vUm. Let’s harness the power of robotics to combat flooding and build a safer future! #innovation #floodmanagement #robotics #sustainability #technology Eszter Kovács Anca Georgiana Rusu
