During this time, another 19 died in the sea and 22 disappeared without a trace, to which 49 missing completely disappeared at the beginning of July. However, starting from 2018, the number of casualties and losses can be significantly reduced due to the commissioning of a search robot that has already successfully passed the tests and expects further improvement.

This robot, which has no analogues in the world so far, will be installed on an aircraft, usually a helicopter, and if a "suspicious" object (including infrared radiation) is detected, suitable for describing a conditional "boat with people on board" Will immediately give a signal to the team of rescuers. The latter, having received the exact coordinates - even if it is a question of a single person, should go to the scene of a maximum of 15 minutes. Thus, the area of ??the survey and the accuracy of object recognition in real time are significantly increased, not all of which could be identified with the naked eye.

The launch of the search robot is scheduled for June 2018, but in order to complete all the work, it will take another € 5-6 million, which the Spanish Rescue Service at sea expects to receive from both the state and private investors. Practically similar developments are now being conducted in the United States, but if the Spaniards receive the funds in the required amount, then they will become pioneers in this field.
