SAR.Drones: Drones for Advanced Search and Rescue Missions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our framework based on visual exploration of disaster areas (i.e. after an earthquake, a tsunami or an industrial accident). It is meant to help rescue teams to locate hotspots (i.e. half-buried person or broken and dangerous canalization) and to maintain an Internet connection for them. Indeed, our solution uses several small autonomous drones (or UAVs, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to explore the area with embedded webcams, inform rescue teams about observed events, and eventually provide a substitution network to them.

Multimodal Interaction with Multiple Co-located Drones in Search and Rescue Missions
We present a multimodal interaction framework suitable for a human rescuer that operates in proximity with a set of co-located drones during search missions. This work is framed in the context of the SHERPA project whose goal is to develop a mixed ground and aerial robotic platform to support search and rescue activities in a real-world alpine scenario. Differently from typical human-drone inte...
متن کاملMultimodal Interaction with Co-located Drones for Search and Rescue
We present a multimodal interaction framework that allows a human operator to interact with co-located drones during search and rescue missions. In contrast with usual human-multidrones interaction scenarios, in this case the operator is not fully dedicated to the control of the robots, but directly involved in search and rescue tasks, hence only able to provide fast, although high-value, instr...
متن کاملMixed-Initiative Planning and Execution for Multiple Drones in Search and Rescue Missions
We present a mixed-initiative planning and execution system for human multi-drones interaction during search and rescue missions. The proposed system should allow a single operator to supervise and orchestrate the operations of a set of UAVs by means of a natural multimodal communication. In particular, we consider the task of searching for missing persons in a realworld alpine scenario. In thi...

In this work, we present a framework that allows a single operator to monitor and control the operations of multiple robots during Search & Rescue missions in an alpine environment. This work is framed in the context of the SHERPA project whose goal is to develop a mixed ground and aerial robotic platform to support search and rescue activities in alpine scenario. In this context, the human ope...
