Mobile Robots for Search and Rescue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile robots are integrated into a search and rescue team as tools for searching victims in dangerous areas that is harmful for human, as to provide the perception data for map building, and as to follow the human entity during the mission. The teleoperated control and the autonomous path following is implemented on the robots for the semiautonomous navigation in the simulated firing scenario. This paper focuses on the robot entities in the PeLoTe project (Building Presence through Localization for Hybrid Telematic Teams). The architecture of the software integration for mobile robots into the PeLoTe system and the experimental results are presented. Index Terms – Mobile robot, Rescue team, Teleoperated control, Semi-autonomous navigation.

Cooperating Robots for Search and Rescue
Many hypothesized applications of mobile robotics require multiple robots. Multiple robots substantially increase the complexity of the operator’s task because attention must be continually shifted among robots. One approach to increasing human capacity for control is to remove the independence among robots by allowing them to cooperate. This paper presents an initial experiment using multiagen...
متن کاملBlue 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 کاملExperimental Tests of 'Bidi-bot': A Mechanism Designed for Clearing Loose Debris from the Path of Mobile Search and Rescue Robots
Urban search and rescue (USAR) robots have the potential of identifying the location of trapped people following a disaster. The majority of survivors in open spaces will be rapidly located and extracted by rescue personnel. Therefore, the greatest challenge for rescue robotics is to penetrate deep within collapsed buildings to search for survivors. In this paper, several robotic challenges are...
متن کاملCooperative Search and Rescue with a Team of Mobile Robots - Advanced Robotics, 1997. ICAR '97. Proceedings., 8th International Conference on
We present an implemented algorithm f o r a distributed team of autonomous mobile robots to search for an object. When one robot finds i t , they all gather around it, and then manipulate (“rescue”) i t . The algorithm exploits parallelism, with all robots searching concurrently, and also teamwork, because the manipulation is performed cooperatively. Our algorithm is fully distributed; the robo...
