ICARUS: Providing Unmanned Search and Rescue Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ICARUS EU-FP7 project deals with the development of a set of integrated components to assist search and rescue teams in dealing with the difficult and dangerous, but life-saving task of finding human survivors. The ICARUS tools consist of assistive unmanned air, ground and sea vehicles, equipped with victim detection sensors. The unmanned vehicles collaborate as a coordinated team, communicating via ad hoc cognitive radio networking. To ensure optimal human-robot collaboration, these tools are seamlessly integrated into the C4I equipment of the human crisis managers and a set of training and support tools is provided to them to learn to use the ICARUS

متن کاملKey Initiatives for Interoperability through Standardization
This paper intends to study the problem of standardizing the way small Unmanned Vehicles (UxV) are commanded and the way they report results. A particular focus is placed on multi-robot operations, where a team of unmanned air, ground and sea vehicles collaborate as a coordinated, seamlessly-integrated team. A strong effort shall be devoted to the integration of them as a heterogeneous fleet. T...
متن کاملA Camera-Based Target Detection and Positioning UAV System for Search and Rescue (SAR) Purposes
Wilderness search and rescue entails performing a wide-range of work in complex environments and large regions. Given the concerns inherent in large regions due to limited rescue distribution, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based frameworks are a promising platform for providing aerial imaging. In recent years, technological advances in areas such as micro-technology, sensors and navigation have...
