چکیده

Abstract: Rescue robots are prime examples of cyber-physical systems which are characterized by a tight combination of the system’s computational and physical elements. In this paper we analyze the requirements of such a system and propose a generic formulation that can be used to design software frameworks for this field. We present the rescue robot system GETbot organized and configured according to the design proposed. Finally, testing in order to validate the efficiency and robustness of individual modules as well as their interconnection is addressed.

Mobile Robots for Search and Rescue

Mobile robots are integrated into a search and rescue team as tools for searching victims in dangerous areas that is harmful for human, as to provide the perception data for map building, and as to follow the human entity during the mission. The teleoperated control and the autonomous path following is implemented on the robots for the semiautonomous navigation in the simulated firing scenario....

Cooperative Search and Rescue with a Team of Mobile Robots - Advanced Robotics, 1997. ICAR '97. Proceedings., 8th International Conference on

We present an implemented algorithm f o r a distributed team of autonomous mobile robots to search for an object. When one robot finds i t , they all gather around it, and then manipulate (“rescue”) i t . The algorithm exploits parallelism, with all robots searching concurrently, and also teamwork, because the manipulation is performed cooperatively. Our algorithm is fully distributed; the robo...

Semi-Autonomous Robots for RoboCupRescue

Search and rescue robots are intended to work as aids to human rescuers. One of the research challenges is how to combine autonomous operation with operator control. This paper presents a single software system which independently operates several physically distinct robots. One operator can coordinate several robots by switching their individual mode between autonomous and remote operation. Fo...

Agent-Based Support for Balancing teleoperation and Autonomy in Urban Search and Rescue

Today’s artificial intelligence technology is insufficient to support autonomous task performance in complex domains such as urban search and rescue, forcing human teleoperation of robots to be extensively relied upon. This, however, also has problems: humans quickly suffer from cognitive overload, and have difficulties in constructing a representation of the space around a remotely-placed robo...
