The CEO of Realtime Robotics inspires passion in the younger generation.

At the Vietnam Artificial Intelligence Forum held on December 24, 2024, the appearance of Dr. Luong Viet Quoc - CEO of Realtime Robotics - along with the Hera Drone, strongly inspired the younger generation.

According to Dr. Luong Viet Quoc, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) are now applied in many fields such as defense, power generation, agriculture , etc. By solving problems based on AI, drones have become a powerful tool for promptly detecting emergency situations, opening up a future for safer human lives. For Vietnamese people to succeed and make a distinctive mark on the world, there is no other way than to have inventions to stand out.

"When venturing into the world , innovation is extremely important. If we want to surpass the rest of the world, we must innovate to be different. If we rely on what the world does and try to imitate it, we can never surpass them," shared the CEO of Realtime Robotics.

Taking the success of the Hera drone – a drone researched and manufactured by a Vietnamese engineer – as an example, Dr. Luong Viet Quoc shared the applications of AI in drone operation to solve real-world problems.

At the forum, young people also asked many questions to the experts. Of particular note was the question about the application of drones in firefighting. In late 2024, a series of fires causing significant loss of life and property were continuously recorded, leaving many people feeling uneasy and worried. So, with modern science and technology, especially the intervention of drones, can firefighting be effectively addressed?

Dr. Luong Viet Quoc stated that while there are many videos on the internet of drones carrying water to fight fires, in reality, using drones directly to fight fires is not yet feasible.

Dr. Quoc shared: “The idea is appealing, but when I encountered it in practice, like when I spoke directly with the research departments of the Fire Prevention and Control Department, they had very specific figures. For example, a living room in an apartment building with a sofa set, an area of ​​about 20m2, would generate a certain amount of heat in one minute and in two minutes during a fire, and how much water would be needed to extinguish it? That amount of water is enormous… It’s impossible for a drone to carry enough water, be mobile, and appear at the scene immediately when a fire starts, delivering enough water to extinguish it quickly. Therefore, direct firefighting is not yet feasible.”

However, according to experts, using drones for fire prevention is also very feasible. This is because AI models can predict hotspots and warn of fires based on risk levels such as yellow, orange, red, etc.

The insights shared by experts at the forum have inspired the younger generation with directions for the future. Research, invention, and manufacturing of drones with improvements geared towards improving daily life will be practical suggestions, giving contestants of the Vietnam Artificial Intelligence Competition more enthusiasm to write the next chapters in the success story of Vietnamese people as they step out into the world.
