Bi-pedal Robot for Rescue Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wheeled and tracked vehicles are mainly suitable for relatively flat terrain. Legged vehicles, on the other hand, have the potential to handle a wide variety of terrain. This article presents a new locomotion concept, adapted to both flat and complex rough terrain by combining the advantages of wheeled and legged vehicels. MATE-1 is a bipedal robot equipped with two special grippers which provide the capability of walking and climbing in rough terrain and rolling on smooth surfaces. A subtle design of the robot’s mechanical structure allows combining different locomotion concepts, thus increasing its mobility and its capacity to adapt to the terrain without exceed in weight or size. Keywords—robot, bi-pedal, climbing, walking, claw

Trajectory Tracking of a Mobile Robot Using Fuzzy Logic Tuned by Genetic Algorithm (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In recent years, soft computing methods, like fuzzy logic and neural networks have been presented and developed for the purpose of mobile robot trajectory tracking. In this paper we will present a fuzzy approach to the problem of mobile robot path tracking for the CEDRA rescue robot with a complicated kinematical model. After designing the fuzzy tracking controller, the membership functions an...
متن کاملDesign and prototype of mobile robots for rescue operations
This study concerns the design and prototype of four different mobile robot platforms for rescue robot operations after an earthquake. At first, a test field is constructed to represent a mildly damaged earthquake zone. The test field consists of eight different sections: sand, gravel, ditch, water, bridge, incline, decline, and turn. The mechanical structure, electronics, software, communicati...
متن کاملSearch & Rescue using Multi-Robot Systems
Robotic search and rescue is a challenging yet promising research area which has significant real-world application potentials. In this paper, a survey of multi-robot systems and how they can be implemented in search and rescue operations is presented. In particular, the problems of task allocation, communication, and human-robot interaction in multi-robot systems are explored.
