First Test of the Iranian Maritime Rescue Robot

From The Watchers:

Pars Aerial rescue robot tested for the first time, Caspian Sea
Hearing news about drownings at the Caspian Sea Iranian RTS Lab, led by director Amin Rigi, set out to find a better solution for saving human lives at the sea. Their idea evolved from surface robot that could be operated manually and remotely to fully automated flying rescue machine they named Pars Aerial rescue robot.

After successful tests of the surface rescue robot prototype, the team realized they need to build a robot with much better capabilities. The new robot they had in mind would have to act faster and be far more accurate. This is when the idea to create Pars Aerial rescue robot was born. 

We received first news of Pars Aerial rescue robot from RTS Lab back in April 2013. The idea was still fresh at the time but very promising. Since then, the idea grew to a working prototype and first tests were already conducted.
