Coordinated Action in a Heterogeneous Rescue Team
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a new approach to make use of a heterogeneous robot team for the RoboCup Rescue League Virtual Robot competition. We will demonstrate coordinated action between a flying and a ground robot. The flying robot is used for fast exploration and allows the operator to find the places where victims are present in the environment. Due to the fast aggregation of the location error in the flying robot no precise location of the victim is known. It is the task of the ground robot to autonomously go the point of interest and to get an accurate location of the victim, which can be used by human rescue workers to save the victim. The benefit of this approach is demonstrated in a small number of experiments. By integrating the abilities of the two robots the team’s performance is improved.

A comparison of human and market-based robot task planners
Urban search and rescue, reconnaissance, manufacturing, and team sports are all problem domains requiring multiple agents that are able to collaborate intelligently to achieve a team goal. In these domains task planning and assignment can be challenging to robots and humans alike. In this paper we introduce a market-based distributed task planning algorithm that has been adapted for heterogeneo...

In this article, we present the design of a team of heterogeneous, centimeter-scale robots – called Millibots that coordinate to provide real-time surveillance and reconnaissance. The robot team exploits modular sensing, processing and mobility to achieve a wide range of tasks that include mapping and exploration as well as support for fire rescue. To achieve extended team operation in the face...
متن کاملCoordinating heterogeneous teams of robots using temporal symbolic planning
The efficient coordination of a team of heterogeneous robots is an important requirement for exploration, rescue, and disaster recovery missions. In this paper, we present a novel approach to target assignment for heterogeneous teams of robots. It goes beyond existing target assignment algorithms in that it explicitly takes symbolic actions into account. Such actions include the deployment and ...
متن کاملRescue operations using coordinated multicast MANET
Disaster relief and rescue operations are common situations where the need for communication is crucial. We propose the use of multicast MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) and investigate via simulation whether they can efficiently support the communications during such operations. MANETs are suitable for such operations, since they do not need any pre-existing infrastructure. We simulate two real...
