Detecting Wildfires Before It's Too Late

Wildfires—an ever-growing problem for our ever-growing populations. As the world adds another 1 billion people in the next 15 years, most of them will be living in areas designated as “wildland-urban interfaces”. With more human activities near forests, wildfire risks will increase. The 2020 California wildfires burnt over ten thousand homes, leaving areas of the state in destruction and fear of future catastrophe. We are in dire need of tools to combat wildfires, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect natural carbon sequestration resources. Robotics Cats provides early wildfire detection and environmental monitoring solutions to international customers.
