In Canada’s vast and often unpredictable terrain, time is everything when someone goes missing.
Whether it’s a lost hiker in BC’s backcountry, a missing child near a northern Ontario lake, or an injured snowmobiler in the Rockies, search and rescue teams must act fast — often in conditions where visibility is dangerously low.
That’s where Robofinity InsightDrive™ comes in.
InsightDrive™ is the first AI-powered thermal imaging system designed for vehicles. With real-time visibility up to 656 feet ahead , it detects heat signatures — meaning it can identify people, animals, and obstacles in total darkness, fog, or snow, long before they become visible to the naked eye.
This makes it a game-changer for:
- Mountain rescue teams navigating remote trails
- Coastal search units scanning shorelines at night
- Forest patrols tracking lost individuals
- Emergency responders searching in low-visibility conditions
Why Traditional Search Methods Fall Short
Nighttime search operations are some of the most dangerous and difficult to execute:
- Limited visibility due to darkness or weather
- Dense foliage and terrain hiding heat signatures
- Risk of missing people who are motionless or injured
- Long hours and high stress for rescue personnel
Helicopters, drones, and thermal vests help — but they’re often limited by cost, range, or accessibility. InsightDrive™ brings thermal detection directly to the ground teams, increasing speed and accuracy without requiring additional equipment.
Faster Detection, Safer Missions
With InsightDrive™ mounted on search and rescue vehicles, teams can: ✅ Cover more ground quickly and efficiently
✅ Detect people hidden by trees, bushes, or snow
✅ Reduce false alarms and wasted time
✅ Improve safety for both rescuers and those in need
Unlike traditional headlights that rely on reflected light, InsightDrive™ works independently of ambient conditions — meaning it can see through fog, smoke, and even light snowfall.
This is especially valuable in northern regions and during fall and winter months, when daylight is short and temperatures drop.
Installation is compatible with most off-road rescue vehicles, vans, and ATVs — making it a flexible solution for teams across the country.
From volunteer mountain rescue groups to government emergency units, InsightDrive™ ensures that no one gets left behind — even when the world goes dark.
