Bits and bits join one another and make up the pile. Likewise, Pakistani students can make a huge difference in every field. As a team of nine Pakistani students from the Institute of Space Technology in Islamabad (IST) won first place in Turkey’s TEKNOFEST Aerospace and Technology Festival’s International Free Mission UAV Competition.

The competition was held in Busra. And over 240 teams from over 85 countries participated in it. A team from IST was one of them. Through a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles, the team had built a winning Artificial Intelligence-based solution for Human Search and Rescue operations.

These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were created for optimal path planning and human identification in post-disaster scenarios. From a height of 30-50 meters, the UAVs can scan a disaster region for injured citizens.

This project is proved to be significant and valuable which is why won first prize in the silver category and overall fourth place in the competition. The winning team also received a monetary prize of 36,000 Turkish Lira.

Please appreciate and encourage talented people. They are the assets of this country.
