System Integration Performed on the CAESAR USAR Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
Rescuers have lost their lives in events requiring them to go into dangerous areas that have unstable structures, gases and environments. Robots are necessary for search and rescue purposes, to access concealed places and environments that fire fighters and rescue personnel cannot gain entry to. The contractible arms elevating search and rescue (CAESAR) robot was designed and developed to assist rescuers in urban search and rescue (USAR) scenarios. For the performance and reliability required in locating victims, different systems are integrated and used.

Performance of the Improvements of the CAESAR Robot
Robots are able to enter concealed and unstable environments inaccessible to rescuers. Previous Urban Search And Rescue (USAR) robots have experienced problems with malfunction of communication systems, traction systems, control and telemetry. These problems were accessed and improved in developing a prototype robot called CAESAR, which is an acronym for Contractible Arms Elevating Search And R...
متن کاملHuman-robot interactions during the robot-assisted urban search and rescue response at the World Trade Center
The World Trade Center (WTC) rescue response provided an unfortunate opportunity to study the human-robot interactions (HRI) during a real unstaged rescue for the first time. A post-hoc analysis was performed on the data collected during the response, which resulted in 17 findings on the impact of the environment and conditions on the HRI: the skills displayed and needed by robots and humans, t...
متن کاملFunctional Mapping: Spatial Inferencing to Aid Human-Robot Rescue Efforts in Unstructured Disaster Environments
In this paper we examine the case of a mobile robot that is part of a human-robot urban search and rescue (USAR) team. During USAR scenarios, we would like the robot to have a geometrical-functional understanding of space, using which it can infer where to perform planned tasks in a manner that mimics human behavior. We assess the situation awareness of rescue workers during a simulated USAR sc...

This paper presents presents a study on e ciency of Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) missions that has been carried out within the framework of the German research project I-LOV. After three years of development, first field tests have been carried out in 2011 by professionals such as the Rapid Deployment Unit for Salvage Operations Abroad (SEEBA). We present results from evaluating search teams ...
متن کاملDevice Level Simulation of Kurt3D Rescue Robots
USARSIM is a worldwide used robot simulator deployed in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and in the context of the RoboCup Rescue Real Robot contest. This paper describes the USARSIM simulator for KURT2 and Kurt3D robot platforms, which we are using in both education and research. As it simulates on the device level, a seamless integration of real robot control software with the simulations becom...
