Dataset Acquisitions for USAR Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Common representation of the environment is usually depicted as a global or local map. To increase robustness of autonomous creation of such a representation, novel datasets are required. We introduce a system to record precise datasets targeting semi-structured environments which is most likely to be encountered in USAR situations. The global positioning, recorded with a theodolite, is precise in the order of millimeters. Extensive field tests resulted in 4 datasets of challenging outdoor and indoor environments.

Functional Mapping: Spatial Inferencing to Aid Human-Robot Rescue Efforts in Unstructured Disaster Environments
In this paper we examine the case of a mobile robot that is part of a human-robot urban search and rescue (USAR) team. During USAR scenarios, we would like the robot to have a geometrical-functional understanding of space, using which it can infer where to perform planned tasks in a manner that mimics human behavior. We assess the situation awareness of rescue workers during a simulated USAR sc...

متن کاملSystem Integration Performed on the CAESAR USAR Robot
Rescuers have lost their lives in events requiring them to go into dangerous areas that have unstable structures, gases and environments. Robots are necessary for search and rescue purposes, to access concealed places and environments that fire fighters and rescue personnel cannot gain entry to. The contractible arms elevating search and rescue (CAESAR) robot was designed and developed to assis...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Scout Robot for Urban Search and Rescue
A group of miniature mobile robots called Scouts were tested in the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) course used in the RoboCup Rescue competition at IJCAI 2001. This testing was to evaluate the utility of using small robots with limited mobility and sensing constraints in the unstructured and chaotic environments present in disaster areas where USAR operations are required. The Scouts and their ...
