چکیده
Abstract Continuum robots can enter narrow spaces and are useful for search rescue missions in disaster sites. The exploration efficiency at sites improves if the simultaneously acquire several pieces of information. However, a continuum robot that information to such an extent has not yet been designed. This is because attaching multiple sensors without compromising its body flexibility challenging. In this study, we installed small distributed manner develop continuum-robot system with information-gathering functions. addition, field experiment demonstrated gathered potential improve searching efficiency. Concretely, developed active scope camera sensory functions, which was equipped total 80 sensors, as inertial measurement units, microphones, speakers, vibration sensors. Herein, consider space-saving, noise reduction, ease maintenance designing robot. communicate all attached even it bent minimum bending radius 250 mm. We also operation interface integrates search-support technologies using via survivor procedure simulated rubble environment Fukushima Robot Test Field. confirmed provided through finding survivors. limitations designed discussed. development system, great applications, extends application management will benefit community large.

Distributed Search and Rescue with Robot and Sensor Teams
We develop a network of distributed mobile sensor systems as a solution to the emergency response problem. The mobile sensors are inside a building and they form a connected ad-hoc network. We discuss cooperative localization algorithms for these nodes. The sensors collect temperature data and run a distributed algorithm to assemble a temperature gradient. The mobile nodes are controlled to nav...

متن کاملRobot-Sensor Networks for Search and Rescue
In order to fulfill its mission, a search and rescue system must be able to both quickly and reliably locate victims within the search space. Current search and rescue approaches generally rely on either teleoperated robots, or teams of wireless robots. Since typically the robots used in these systems employ sophisticated hardware components and are few in number, system cost tends to be high a...
متن کاملOptimal Strategies for Search and Rescue Operations with Robot Swarms
Motivated by the modern availability of drones and unmanned surface vessels as well as other low cost search agents, we consider the problem of a swarm of robots searching for a target on the high seas. Coordinating such a search in an effective manner is a non trivial task. In this paper we fully address this problem by first developing an abstract model which allows us to understand searches ...
متن کاملA Novel Reconfigurable Robot for Urban Search and Rescue
This paper presents a novel mobile robot for urban search and rescue based on reconfiguration. The system consists of three identical modules; actually each module is an entire robotic system that can perform distributed activities. To achieve highly adaptive locomotion capabilities, the robot’s serial and parallel mechanisms form an active joint, enabling it to change its shape in three dimens...
