چکیده

Mobile robots can be helpful for post disaster management, e.g., to explore hazardous and damaged environments. However, many challenges in various areas have to be solved, e.g., mechanical issues, situation awareness, communication capabilities. We present the interdisciplinary research project Robotic Firefighters (RFF) which addresses some of the IT problems. We take a detailed look at the proposed distributed communication infrastructure enabling communication between different autonomous mobile RFF units. Besides direct multihop communication, the RFF communication architecture includes the ability to have an RFF robot physically distribute communication nodes called Dropboxes. They can be used to deploy a WSN or act as data exchange points enabling communication and coordination between RFF units. Prototype implementations of the RFF Dropbox concept, including two kinds of Dropboxes, and an experimental platform for automatic deployment, are introduced.
