متن کاملExploring Humanoid Robot Locomotion Capabilities in Virtual Disaster Response Scenarios
We study the feasibility of having various humanoid robots undertake some tasks from those challenged by the DARPA’s call on disaster operations. Hence, we focus on locomotion tasks that apparently require human-like motor skills to be achieved. We use virtual scenes under the fully3D-modeled-environment assumption. The robot autonomously plans and executes the motion with a high-level goal spe...
متن کاملA Methodological Proposal to Disaster Risk Indicators in Brazil
This article provides a tool to help assess, visualise and communicate different levels of exposure, vulnerability and risk in Brazil. The Disaster Risk Index in Brazil may sensitise public and political decision-makers towards the important topic of disaster risk and climate change adaptation. This article aims to explore the feasibility and usefulness of such a national risk index that consid...
