I would like to see an augmented reality computer vision device that allows lifeguards to spot drowning people faster. Maybe even have an alarm in case they are paying attention to something else. Also underwater cameras. Although I imagine after a while, alarm fatigue would get them in the end.

Another cool feature would be spotting people running on the pool deck and shining a projector on them or something then an annunciator telling them not to run.

What I like about this robot is that it could be used in pools that don't normally have a lifeguard. Residential pools are a big killer of kids.
