Disaster Information Gathering by Aerial Robot Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report introduces R&D results of aerial robot systems development for urban search and rescue (USAR). Different types of aerial robot systems have been developed and they are systematically combined so as to offer continuous information gathering in a suffered area. Autonomous helicopters are collecting disaster situation data from the sky for USAR first operation planning. Then, a blimp-type robot system and a cable-driven robot system start to survey victims under collapsed houses in the destroyed areas. Continuously a captive balloon system with a monitoring camera presents bird’s eye views of the disaster area continuously. These robots and other developed technologies are integrated to a total solution for a quick information gathering in USAR.

Information from the sky is important for rescue activity in large-scale disaster or dangerous areas. Observation system using a balloon or an airplane has been studied as an information gathering system from the sky. A balloon observation system needs helium gas and relatively long time to be ready. An airplane observation system can be prepared in a short time and its mobility is good. Howeve...

متن کاملA kite and teleoperated vision system for acquiring aerial images
In times of disaster acquiring aerial images is challenging. Runways may be crippled thus denying conventional aircraft in the area from taking off. Also the time required to schedule a satellite fly-by may delay first response efforts. Man backpackable aerial robots can be carried close to the disaster site and flown to capture aerial images. This paper integrates mechatronics, intelligent sen...
