- Description
-
Fyto Autonomous Firefighting is a California-based wildfire protection company. Our mission is to end the destruction of private property caused by climate disasters with a specific focus on wildfires.
Fyto has an exclusive license to use a patented sprinkler system in North America. This sprinkler system will douse the home and the area around the home (the fuels) in water and a microbial-based wetting agent.
In addition to this, Fyto is has developed Fyto Cloud, an artificial intelligence-based system to determine when to enable the sprinkler systems around your home. By using a network of sensors, Fyto Cloud can monitor the environment and selectively enable the sprinklers around the home to reduce the risk of fire ignition.
Fyto is targeting homes in the WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) as a large swatch of these homes are unable to get adequate insurance.We call our wildfire defense product ‘FireFyto’. You can see more at www.homewildfireprotection.com

Recent projects
Wildfire tracking and prediction satellite design
Fyto has a number of existing technological innovations which rely heavily on external satellite data and these satellites are very out of date in terms of their detection capabilities. Fyto would like to design a low-cost satellite that will continually monitor the earth for markers and wildfire risk. The goal of this project is to design and build a satellite that can scan the Earth for wildfires. The satellite will be equipped with various sensors, including infrared cameras and thermal imaging sensors, to detect and locate active wildfires. It will also have the ability to transmit real-time data and images to ground stations. The satellite will be placed in a low Earth orbit, allowing it to cover a large area of the Earth's surface
Create a wildfire risk score for US homeowners
Fyto Autonomous Firefighting is a California-based wildfire protection company. Our mission is to end the destruction of private property caused by wildfires with a specific focus on California and the neighboring states. As the problem of wildfires grows in scale each year, the risk to homeowners and insurers rises. As the risk rises, insurers withdraw their policies from homeowners with properties in the WUI (wildland urban interface). Redfin estimates that 4.5 million homes will not have insurance against wildfires by the end of 2022. In this project, we would like to create a system whereby we can calculate the wildfire destruction risk of a specific home. Deliverables for this project are: Determine a list of addresses, or, if that's not possible, then a list of zip codes that are no longer covered by full wildfire insurance Create a wildfire risk score for homeowners. This will consist of evaluating publicly available data to determine the risk index for an address or zip code. For example, a risk score of 90/100 would be a very high risk of wildfire damage within 5 years. These metrics can be defined further and are flexible. You can learn more about our company and products in the attached files and resources.
Website Development
We would like a new website for our organization. We would like to work with students to develop a new website for us. Students should be prepared to: Create a design proposal including wireframes or low-fidelity mockups for our company's review. Build a fully-functioning website, with our assistance in providing content and copy. Provide training on updating and maintaining the site. Design with modern design elements in mind, building on modern technologies and trends Use existing public data to make the website more interactive, for example using a list of zip codes that are marked as 'high risk' for wildfires. Our current website is here: www.fytoinc.com More details about the company: Fyto Autonomous Firefighting is a California-based wildfire protection company.

Mobile App UI UX Design and Prototype
Our company would like to explore designing a prototype for a native mobile application version of our current web-based product. We would like a group of students to design a prototype mobile application for our current wildfire protection products. This will involve: Research modern UI/UX trends for mobile apps Learn and use various software design tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as it is the latest and greatest tool currently available. Creation of a screen-by-screen UX / UI prototype of a native mobile application that can be used on both iOS and Android.
