Sonny Kirkley works on artificial intelligence and connected-device (Internet of Things) systems for emergency response and public safety. Much of the recent work focuses on autonomous vehicles and drones (UAVs) for firefighting, disaster relief, and law enforcement, including voice-controlled and language-model-guided systems. The research combines robotics, sensing, and decision-support technologies to help first responders.
Publication activity has grown sharply in recent years, rising from about one paper per year in 2022-2023 to five in 2024 and ten in 2025.
