francois baptista + stéphane pietroiusti create EAGLE EYE as a rescue drone

designed by french creatives francois baptista and stéphane pietroiusti, the EAGLE EYE drone is tailored to keep you safe during wild adventures. with its fine-tuned features, including artificial intelligence, it becomes a tool for rescuers and an asset when going through dangerous or hardly reachable fields.

francois baptista x stéphane pietroiusti EAGLE EYE

baptista and pietroiusti have carefully developed EAGLE EYE  in partnership with drone makers, rescuers and professional drone pilots. as a result, thanks to cameras, sensors, and an integrated artificial intelligence, the drone knows perfectly the topology of the field it has been assigned to.

a new tool for rescuers

‘he is living in the nature, scanning the ground every day, autonomous thanks to solar powered pylons to recharge it, dispersed on his territory. nature is always in movement, vegetation is growing, trees are falling, rains changes the tracks, temperature fluctuates. that’s why it is needed to refresh all data as often as possible, to define the best strategies to always be faster for rescuers to save lives or extinguish the flames’, explains the design duo.
