We propose a new mobile motion-traclung system for rescue work, which is able to detect and track motion of buildings destroyed by disasters including earthquakes. This system includes two mobile computers with digital cameras to detect two-dimensional motion of the buildings from different angles. The two computers are communicated with serial interfaces and the two-hmensional position in an i...

management of traumatized patients after road accidents is in many countries still a serious challenge. apart from technical problems in management of car accidents, the recovery and rescue of the patients and their transport to hospital need exact planning and efficient strategy. present lecture compares the trauma management in an industrial country like germany with this in iran. present wor...

For tasks that need to be accomplished in unconstrained environments, as in the case of Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), human-robot collaboration is considered as an indispensable component. Collaboration is based on accurate models of robot and human perception consistent with one another, so that exchange of information critical to the accomplishment of a task is performed efficiently and in ...

This paper describes the 5dpo-2000 team. The paper will be divided into three main sections, corresponding to three main blocks: the Global Level, the Local Level and the Interface Level. These Levels, their subsystems and some implementation details will be described next.
