The invention discloses a rescue boat device and method based on multi-unmanned aerial vehicle assisted search, and belongs to the technical field of water rescue. The device comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle subsystem, a rescue boat main body and a cooperative communication module, the unmanned aerial vehicle subsystem comprises a plurality of rescue unmanned aerial vehicles which are provided with 4K optical
zoom cameras, dual-frequency GPS / Beidou positioning modules and
edge computing units (NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX), and an intelligent parking cabin with a
wireless fast charging function; the rescue unmanned aerial vehicles are provided with the 4K optical
zoom cameras, the dual-frequency GPS / Beidou positioning modules and the
edge computing units (NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX); the rescue boat main body is integrated with a net-shaped lifting platform, a six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm and a central
control system; and the cooperative communication module adopts a 5G / LoRa
hybrid network. The method comprises the steps that multiple unmanned aerial vehicles cooperatively search a target through an improved spiral expansion
algorithm, and
centimeter-level positioning is realized by adopting a multi-source fusion
positioning technology; the rescue boat autonomously navigates to a target position according to the positioning information, and salvage and first-aid treatment of drowning persons are completed through the lifting platform and the mechanical arm which are intelligently controlled. The method has the technical effects that the search efficiency is improved by more than 300%, the positioning accuracy reaches + / -0.5 m, the rescue
response time is shortened to be within 5 minutes, the
system can stably work under the 4-level sea condition, and an efficient, accurate and full-automatic solution is provided for water rescue.
