Search and Rescue using Swarm Robots Complex Systems Seminar

چکیده
Nowadays mobile robots are being used in various fields of academic research as well as real applications. Semiautonomous space exploration and underwater exploration are two applications of mobile robots. They are also being used in rescue process e.g. in semi-destroyed buildings after a disaster that is unsafe for human to enter and try to find and rescue victims. These robots should be highly robust and flexible. Two main approaches to construct this kind of systems are collective robotics, and selfreconfigurable robots. This presentation is focused on a novel research field called Swarm-Bot that is situated between selfreconfigurable and collective robotics.

Blue Swarm 2.5: A Step Toward an Autonomous Swarm of Search and Rescue Robots
Urban search and rescue is a difficult domain for autonomous mobile robots to operate in. The environment can be expected to be highly unstructured, with many obstacles and hazards for a robot to deal with. In addition, if human rescue teams are going to accept robotic assistance, they need to be assured that the robots are going to be helpful, not a hindrance. With these factors in mind, we ha...
متن کاملEntanglement detection of a swarm of tethered robots in search and rescue applications
In urban search and rescue (USAR) applications, robots play a pivotal role. As USAR is time sensitive, swarm of robots is preferred over single robot for victim search. Tethered robots are widely used in USAR applications because tether provides robust data communication and power supply. The problem with using tethers in a collapsed, unstructured environment is tether entanglement. Entanglemen...
متن کاملSwarm robotics - Scholarpedia
Swarm robotics is the study of how to design groups of robots that operate without relying on any external infrastructure or on any form of centralized control. In a robot swarm, the collective behavior of the robots results from local interactions between the robots and between the robots and the environment in which they act. The design of robot swarms is guided by swarm intelligence principl...
متن کاملEngineering autonomic ensembles
The European Union ASCENS (autonomic service-component ensembles) project1 aims to research and invent new approaches for designing and developing ensembles. A very good example of an ensemble is a swarm of robots autonomously performing complex tasks, similar to the way some animals do in nature. For example, several ants together can carry objects that are much too heavy for a single ant. In ...
متن کاملSwarm Robotics: Research Experience for High School Students
The paper reports an exploratory project to provide research experiences on swarm robotics to high school students. A group of three simple mobile robots (Lego NXT) was used to study ‘search and rescue’ operation. A bio-inspired global optimization technique called particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used as the main algorithm. Each robot was placed in pre-defined positions with a target posi...
