Advancing the State of Urban Search and Rescue Robotics Through the RoboCupRescue Robot League Competition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The RoboCupRescue Robot League is an international competition that has grown to be an effective driver for the dissemination of solutions to the challenges posed by Urban Search and Rescue Robotics and accelerated the development of the performance standards that are crucial to widespread effective deployment of robotic systems for these applications. In this paper, we will discuss how this competition has come to be more than simply a venue where teams compete to find a champion and is now “A League of Teams with one goal: to Develop and Demonstrate Advanced Robotic Capabilities for Emergency Responders.”

متن کاملRoboCupRescue - Robot League Team KURT3D, Germany
A mobile robot named KURT3D was developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Autonomous Intelligent Systems during the last three years. The key innovation of this system lies in the capability for autonomous or operatorassisted 6D SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and 3D map generation of natural scenes. Hence, KURT3D already meets the basic requirement regarding urban search and rescu...
متن کاملHigh Fidelity Tools for Rescue Robotics: Results and Perspectives
USARSim is a high fidelity robot simulation tool based on a commercial game engine. We illustrate the overall structure of the simulator and we argue about its use as a bridging tool between the RoboCupRescue Real Robot League and the RoboCupRescue Simulation League. In particular we show some results concerning the validation of the system. Algorithms useful for the search and rescue task have...

After the second place in RoboCup Rescue 2004, a new version of the mobile robot Kurt3D was developed in our groups during the last year [1]. The key innovation of this system lies in the capability for autonomous or operator-assisted 6D SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and 3D map generation of natural scenes. Hence, Kurt3D already meets the basic requirement regarding urban search ...
