This year the task of the UvA Rescue Team is to break up the monolith architecture of the control architecture. On the one hand this will make the existing modules reusable by other researchers; on the other hand it opens the possibility to incorporate e cient modules from other research groups. A rst attempt will be to incorporate 3DTK The 3D Toolkit which provides methods and algorithms to pr...

Robots are slowly finding their way into the hands of search and rescue groups. One of the robots contributing to this effort is the Inuktun VGTV-Xtreme series by American Standard Robotics. This capable robot is one of the only robots engineered specifically for the search and rescue domain. This paper describes the adaptation of the VGTV platform from an industrial inspection robot into a cap...

The introduction of Team HELIOS2016 is given in this Team Description Paper (TDP). First, a brief background of the team is given. Then the latest development of the team is described. The team has developed a model which decides the strategy that should be applied regarding a particular opponent team. This task can be realized by applying preliminarily a learning phase where the model determin...
