2026年6月,花蓮縣馬太鞍溪發生溪水暴漲事件,搜救隊透過搭載熱顯像儀與 AI 人形辨識功能的無人機升空搜索,成功發現並救回失聯工地主任。此案例顯示紅外線熱像技術結合 AI 辨識與無人機平台,可於災害現場提升搜救效率,爭取黃金救援時間;同時也反映臺灣無人機應用正朝救災、公共安全與智慧巡檢等營用情境擴展。
2026年6月,烏克蘭國防科技公司 Oko Camera 推出 Oko Pro 熱像攝影機系列,專為無人機系統、地面機器人平台及目標辨識等電腦視覺應用設計,並預計於2026年第3季開始量產。Oko Pro 採 640 × 480 熱像感測器、17 µm 像素間距,並訴求低延遲與 AI 視覺應用整合,可支援無人機、地面機器人、光學導航、反無人機系統及目標定位等場景,顯示熱像技術已從單純影像觀測,進一步成為自主系統與 AI 感知模組之一。
2026年4月,約旦 Hashemite University、Jordan University of Science and Technology,以及西班牙 Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya 團隊於 Sensors 期刊發表 AI-enhanced thermal–visual–inertial odometry and autonomous planning 研究,提出整合熱像、可見光、慣性感測與聲音訊號之自主地面機器人系統,導入於 GPS 不可用之搜救場景。研究指出,多模態融合可提升低光源、煙霧、粉塵、遮蔽及複雜室內環境下的定位與情境理解能力,提高熱像在救災機器人、室內巡檢機器人與安全監控機器人之應用價值。
2026年2月,多國研究團隊發表《Infrared photonics for healthcare》技術路線圖,指出紅外線光子技術正快速走向醫療診斷、治療監測、即時照護(point-of-care)檢測,以及醫療與健康穿戴裝置。文章並強調微型化 IR 感測器、光子積體電路、AI 演算法、校正標準與醫療認證,將是後續導入臨床與大規模健康管理應用的關鍵。
