Octo’s 2023 Interns Develop Lifesaving Solution Powered by AI

EchoNet is an AI and ML solution that draws on an acoustic detection capability. AI algorithms process sound to trigger a robotic unit to take an appropriate and actionable response in a given situation. This technology can be used for finding buried victims during earthquakes, locating underwater sub-implosion locations, detecting and mitigating shots in combat situations, and more.
