Project Heimdall

The severity of wildfires has been increasing over the past decades. Giving rise to increased loss of life, damage to property and destruction of nature. Presently employed solutions to monitor vast areas, such as forest are lacking and expensive. The goal of Heimdall together with team “FireFlys” is to deploy cutting edge sensing technologies on a UAV ( Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The combination of maneuverability and sensing from a top-down perspective creates a great system for early detection and continuous sensing of forest fires.

Product Development Project (PdP) course is primarily aimed at master students in technology (ENG & SCI), business (BIZ), design (ARTS) and last year Bachelor students in design (ARTS).The course follows a passion-based learning (PBL) methodology. The challenges are given and sponsored by industry partners, who are searching for innovative cooperation with the next generation of product developers. More info about the course: https://pdp.fi/
