Intrepid investigates multiple methods to detect initial signs of assault and develop methods for communication and prevention of assault. We also explore olfactory stimuli as a potential means to prevent sexual assault in real-time. Intrepid was active from January 2016 to June 2017. The proposed solution operates in two modes, an active mode for instances when the victim is unconscious or cannot fight against the assaulter and the passive mode where the victim can self-actuate the safety mechanism.
