Sydney: Australian researchers have developed a drone capable of measuring a person's breathing and heart rate from 60 metres away, an advance that may help during humanitarian crises.
"Basically in a disaster, unfortunately, you have to prioritize who's living, who's dead and perhaps who are dying, and this might allow a drone to map a scene and establish the general condition of people," Chahl told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
"The same software could do facial recognition, measure their heart rate after climbing up some stairs in the subway, and you could do that for 100,000 people a day," Chahl said.
The drones were created in conjunction with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to be deployed during humanitarian crises.
However, Chahl said that the device could also be used for bad things like spying or weaponization.
"If we can start doing these things, so can somebody who has a bad agenda," Chahl said.
"Somebody could take their data and do something with it, you could try to sell them something, you could deny them insurance, you could tell their employer."
