Behind the Scenes

Intel and the Polar Bears & Humans project teamed up in July 2017 for a 5 days expedition to Svalbard testing what we hope will be the next generation of non-invasive technology for polar bear research. This first test was mainly to see how a drone equipped with IR thermal camera and high resolution camera can operate at 80 degree North. We also wanted to test if drones really are non-invasive, and can replace noisy and expensive helicopters in some areas.
