Artificial Intelligence System Aimed at Preventing Drownings
The Coral system, on the other hand, is passive, meaning it does not need human intervention to activate or deactivate. It watches swimmers on its own, having filtered through millions of images to learn what human heads look like. The machine emits a chirp when a person enters the pool, then learns who that person is so it won't chirp again if they hop out and hop back in. The system also connects to mobile devices, which will sound should the alarm get triggered. In the indoor YMCA's case, officials charge its back-up battery every few days.
