This technology enables cameras to automatically detect smoke and fire \u2014 a significant step towards faster fire detection and a safer living environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim of the project was to optimise the software so that it runs locally on a new type of camera, with minimal energy consumption. Thanks to this application of edge computing, video images are processed directly on the camera, without the intervention of a central server.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/guido-jansen-Nz-zAt4qiuU-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Photo\" class=\"wp-image-4521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/guido-jansen-Nz-zAt4qiuU-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/guido-jansen-Nz-zAt4qiuU-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/guido-jansen-Nz-zAt4qiuU-unsplash-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/guido-jansen-Nz-zAt4qiuU-unsplash-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/guido-jansen-Nz-zAt4qiuU-unsplash-2048x1363.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group twee paddingtopbottom3 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sigmund-_dJCBtdUu74-unsplash-1024x598.jpg\" alt=\"Prototype photo\" class=\"wp-image-4519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sigmund-_dJCBtdUu74-unsplash-1024x598.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sigmund-_dJCBtdUu74-unsplash-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sigmund-_dJCBtdUu74-unsplash-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sigmund-_dJCBtdUu74-unsplash-1536x897.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/breda-robotics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sigmund-_dJCBtdUu74-unsplash-2048x1196.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<article class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\"><strong>What has been realised?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\">During the project, a working prototype was developed that detects obstacles and converts visual signals into real-time audio feedback.
