00:00To make the search and rescue teams run faster and more safely, especially in times of emergency,
00:16a robot was built that can teach where to save on the way.
00:21The idea came from the grade 12 students of Manila Science High School.
00:25Come on, let's change the game!
00:31In times of need of a search and rescue operation,
00:39the rescuers have a robot that can guide them on the path.
00:44The waters are hard to reach, especially if there are concrete structures.
00:52Presenting, SLINAM!
00:54Short for Search and Rescue LiDAR Integrated and Autonomous Mapping Robot.
00:58Developed by grade 12 students from Manila Science High School.
01:02The robot is fully automated and can be used to map the area anytime, anywhere.
01:07It can both aid in disaster mitigation so that areas are more prepared in case of a disaster
01:15or to help in search and rescue operations, especially in areas where there's a lot of debris
01:21and it might be a risk for search and rescue teams.
01:25This robot tries to alleviate that problem a bit by giving an idea how the place actually looks.
01:32Less risk for the rescuer once they actually go inside.
01:37The data that can be collected will be sent to the software
01:40where it will alert the rescuers on which paths are passable.
01:45Equipped with LiDAR sensor, the prototype has software for area detection and mapping.
01:50We wanted to challenge ourselves to try this technology which actually in the Philippines is not as explored.
01:57SLINAM was able to save a life.
01:59It was made 3rd place in the Regional Science and Technology Fair last year.
02:04We send this SLINAM and it maps the room where we are now.
02:09Later, it will collect the data.
02:13Once the area mapping is complete, there will be color coding.
02:17The signal, if the area is passable, will be gray.
02:21If it's not possible, the borders will be black.
02:25A game-changing innovation from our senior high school students
02:29that could potentially save a lot of lives in search and rescue operations.
