چکیده

In this work we mtmduce a new concept of a searcb and rescue robotic system that is composed of an elephant trunk-like robot mounted on a mobile base. This system is capable not only of inspecling areas reachable by the mobile base but also to iaspCct unnachable areas such as small cracks, and pipes, using the camera mounted on its elephant trunk robot. In the report we describe &e mechanical structure of the elephant hmk robot, the hematic analysis of the sbucture, the robot conml, and its buman interface systems.

Design and control of a mobile hyper-redundant urban search and rescue robot

In this work we introduce a new concept of a search and rescue robotic system that is composed of a hyper-redundant robot (HRR) which is mounted on a mobile base. This system is capable not only of inspecting areas reachable by the mobile base, but also of inspecting unreachable areas such as small cracks and pipes, using the camera and sensors mounted on its end-effector. The HRR is composed o...

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...

تعیین ماشین‌های بردار پشتیبان بهینه در طبقه‌بندی تصاویر فرا طیفی بر مبنای الگوریتم ژنتیک

Hyper spectral remote sensing imagery, due to its rich source of spectral information provides an efficient tool for ground classifications in complex geographical areas with similar classes. Referring to robustness of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in high dimensional space, they are efficient tool for classification of hyper spectral imagery. However, there are two optimization issues which s...

A "Sidewinding" Locomotion Gait for Hyper-Redundant Robots

This paper considers the kinematics of a novel form of hyper-redundant mobile robot locomotion which is analogous to the ‘sidewinding’ locomotion of desert s akes. TI$= form o locomotio can be generated Ey a repetitive travAing wave of mechanism bending. Using a continuous backbone curve model, we develop algorithms which enable travel in a uniform direction as well as changes in direction.

Experimental Tests of 'Bidi-bot': A Mechanism Designed for Clearing Loose Debris from the Path of Mobile Search and Rescue Robots

Urban search and rescue (USAR) robots have the potential of identifying the location of trapped people following a disaster. The majority of survivors in open spaces will be rapidly located and extracted by rescue personnel. Therefore, the greatest challenge for rescue robotics is to penetrate deep within collapsed buildings to search for survivors. In this paper, several robotic challenges are...
