In response to the rising frequency of disasters, this abstract explores the development of UAVs with thermal sensors for efficient search and rescue operations in collapsed structures. Emphasizing the importance of thermal sensors, the text discusses challenges, such as dust interference, and proposes solutions. Additionally, it outlines the role of drones in debris removal and supply delivery, emphasizing collaboration with human rescue teams to maximize effectiveness and support survivors in inaccessible areas.
