The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: A Marsupial Team for Urban Search and Rescue
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our entry in the AAAI 2002 Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) competition, a marsupial team consisting of a larger wheeled robot and several small legged robots, carried around by the larger robot. This setup exploits complimentary strengths of each robot type in a challenging domain. We describe both the hardware and software architecture, and the on-board real-time mapping which forms the basis of accurate victim-localization crucial to the USAR domain. We also evaluate what challenges remain to be resolved in order to deploy search and rescue robots in realistic scenarios.

Autonomous Multi-Agent Docking Using Color Segmentation
This poster will look at the work in progress of an autonomous multi-agent scheme for ego-centric docking, meaning that the agent docking has no communication or help from the agent to which it is docking. Docking has become a major issue in marsupial robots, and has applications in space exploration, urban search and rescue, and reconnaissance. This work attempts to make use of color segmentat...
متن کاملExpedients for Marsupial Operations of USAR Robots
This paper presents observations and suggestions for urban search and rescue (USAR) robot developers whose products may be involved in ad hoc marsupial operations at ground disaster sites. A marsupial operation can be defined as the delivery of robotic services through the explicit physical interaction of two or more robots employed cooperatively. These suggestions are presented from observatio...
