Resku is an open-source emergency-response module that fuses LiDAR SLAM mapping and lightweight thermal sensing — giving firefighters real-time spatial intelligence where human vision is completely blind.
Smoke, heat, and structural collapse reduce visibility to zero within seconds. Crews rely on intuition in environments that can turn lethal in moments — with no real-time map, no victim location data, no hazard awareness.
A compact sensor module using 2D SLAM and I²C sensor fusion builds a live geometric map of any indoor environment — regardless of smoke, dust, or darkness. Resku renders what human eyes cannot.
Continuous 360° LiDAR sweeps build a live geometric map of room boundaries, doorways, and corridors — updated in real time as the module moves.
Lightweight thermal imaging isolates human body heat signatures against a background of fire, smoke, and debris — even through walls.
Dynamic obstacle detection flags structural instabilities, blocked exits, and movement anomalies — pushing alerts before crews encounter them.
Move the firefighter through the building. Watch Resku's LiDAR build a live map of every surface it can see. WASD or Arrow Keys to move.
Every second of emergency response delay statistically reduces victim survival. Drag the slider to see the real medical impact of faster situational awareness.
Resku runs on hardware available anywhere on Earth — a Raspberry Pi 4B, a standard I²C sensor bus, and an off-the-shelf LiDAR unit. No proprietary black boxes. No vendor lock-in.
The full SLAM stack, sensor drivers, and mapping interface are open source. Clone the repo, flash the SD card, and contribute.
