Disaster zone drone to hear the sounds of trapped survivors calling for help

A drone with sensitive hearing is being developed to help listen out for disaster zone survivors and their cries for help.
When a natural disaster such as an earthquake occurs, every minute counts.
Drones are often used to assist the search for survivors as they can provide an initial overview of difficult-to-reach areas and help to detect victims — provided they are visible.
Drones equipped with microphone arrays will be able to precisely locate cries for help and other acoustic signals from victims from the air and supply information about their location to the rescue teams.
This significantly increases the chances of a rapid rescue for victims who cannot be spotted by camera.
Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE are developing a system they have named LUCY.
The letters stand for Listening system Using a Crow’s nest arraY developed by scientist Macarena Varela in collaboration with colleagues and research group leader Dr. Marc Oispuu .
LUCY is an array of microphones — known as a crow’s nest array — which is mounted on drones in order to determine the direction from which noises such as cries for help, clapping or knocking signals are coming.
The tiny, robust mics are inexpensive and normally used in applications such as smartphones.
OPS:The array of microphones — known as a crow’s nest array — is mounted on a drone. It allows noises such as cries for help and knock-ing to be detected from the air and their direction to be determined.

Goonhilly - the station supporting Nasa's Artemis moon mission from Cornwall.
History-rich communcation centre in Lizard peninsula will track the rocket using its Merlin antenna.
Mission control in Houston and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are the places most closely associated with Nasa’s Artemis 1 moon adventure but a lesser-known spot on a remote heath in the far south-west of Britain is also playing a crucial part.
When the mission does blast off, hopefully later this week, scientists at Goonhilly Earth Station on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall will help Nasa track the rocket using a giant deep space antenna nicknamed Merlin, and then command six small research satellites that are piggy-backing a ride on Artemis.
A view of Goonhilly Earth Station in Cornwall. The station will be assisting with Nasa's latest mission to the moon, named Artemis 1. Photo taken on Tuesday 30 August 2022.

Webb’s golden mirror wings open one last time on Earth
Webb’s golden mirror wings open one last time on Earth.
The world’s most powerful space science telescope has opened its primary mirror for the last time on Earth.
As part of the international James Webb Space Telescope’s final tests, the 6.5 meter (21 feet 4 inch) mirror was commanded to fully expand and lock itself into place, just like it would in space. The conclusion of this test represents the team’s final checkpoint in a long series of tests designed to ensure Webb’s 18 hexagonal mirrors are prepared for a long journey in space, and a life of profound discovery. After this, all of Webb’s many movable parts will have confirmed in testing that they can perform their intended operations after being exposed to the expected launch environment.
Making the testing conditions close to what Webb will experience in space helps to ensure the observatory is fully prepared for its science mission one million miles away from Earth.
Commands to unlatch and deploy the side panels of the mirror were relayed from Webb’s testing control room at Northrop Grumman, in Redondo Beach, California. The software instructions sent, and the mechanisms that operated are the same as those used in space. Special gravity offsetting equipment was attached to Webb to simulate the zero-gravity environment in which its complex mechanisms will operate. All of the final thermal blanketing and innovative shielding designed to protect its mirrors and instruments from interference were in place during testing.Credit: ESA / eyevine

A new robot dog promises to be the world’s most intelligent four legged machine that could one day even act as a guide for the blind.Astro , designed to resemble a Doberman , can see and hear intelligent and has the ability to learn through artificial intelligence.Like the other robo-dogs that are on the market or in development, it's able to withstand attempts at knocking it over, plus it's well-suited to traversing rough terrain – such as it might encounter in search-and-rescue operations, or when surveying disaster sites.What makes Astro special is the set of high powered graphics processing units contained within its 3D-printed head.These give the robot a huge amount of computing power helped by onboard sensors including a radar imaging module, cameras, and a directional microphone.They let Astro interpret voice commands and make sense of its surroundings.Additionally, the 45-kg robot utilizes a deep neural network to learn new tasks through a process of trial and error.So far, Astro, developed by Forida Atlantic University in the USA, is able to respond to basic commands such as "sit," "stand" and "lie down."
