Goa, India’s western coast paradise, is becoming increasingly protected with the help of Aurus, an Artificial Intelligence-based self-driving robot, and AI-based monitoring system Triton. 

According to a Drishti Marine spokesperson, the adoption of AI-based help comes in response to an increase in beach-related events brought on by the growing number of domestic and international tourists visiting Goa's coastline. According to him, more than 1,000 rescue operations along the coastal belt in the previous two years necessitated the assistance of the agency's life savers.

The Aurus units have already been deployed at Miramar beach in North Goa, while the Triton units have been deployed in various locations including Baina, Velsao, Benaulim, Galgibag in South Goa, and Morjim in North Goa. 

These robotic lifeguards are equipped with advanced features such as vision technology that can detect potential drowning risks and alert lifeguards on shore. The robotic lifeguards are set to take over a majority of the tasks performed by human lifeguards, allowing for more efficient use of resources and people. 

The addition of these robotic lifeguards is not just an effort to ensure beach safety, but also an attempt to make Goa a more inviting destination for tourists. With the help of these robotic lifeguards, tourists can have peace of mind while they enjoy a relaxing day at the beach. As part of the state’s effort to ensure beach safety and save human lives, the government intends to deploy 100 Triton units and 10 Aurus units on its beaches. 

The introduction of robotic lifeguards is a great example of how technology can be used to improve beach safety standards and make Goa a more attractive tourist destination.  With the help of these robotic lifeguards, Goa is sure to become an even more popular tourist destination.
