Search & Rescue using Multi-Robot Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

RSARSim: A Toolkit for Evaluating HRI in Robotic Search and Rescue Tasks
A well-designed human-robot interface (HRI) is important for the success of search and rescue operations in urban environments. Controlling multiple robotic agents increases the complexity of the human operator’s control task since the human operator’s attention has to be divided between several robots. Without a good user interface, adding more robots to the system will not necessarily increas...
متن کاملRescuing interfaces: A multi-year study of human-robot interaction at the AAAI Robot Rescue Competition
This paper presents results from three years of studying human-robot interaction in the context of the AAAI Robot Rescue Competition. We discuss our study methodology, the competitors’ systems and performance, and suggest ways to improve human-robot interaction in the urban search and rescue as well as other remote robot operations.
متن کاملMulti-Robot Search and Rescue: A Potential Field Based Approach
This paper describes two implementations of a potential field sharing multirobot system which we term as pessimistic and optimistic. Unlike other multirobot systems in which coordination is designed explicitly, it is an emergent property of our system. The robots perform no reasoning and are purely reactive in nature. We extend our previous work in simulated search and rescue where there was on...
متن کاملExploration strategies based on multi-criteria decision making for search and rescue autonomous robots
Autonomous mobile robots are considered a valuable technology for search and rescue applications, where an initially unknown environment has to be explored to locate human victims. In this scenario, robots exploit exploration strategies to autonomously move around the environment. Most of the strategies proposed in literature are based on the idea of evaluating a number of candidate locations a...
متن کاملCollaborative Information Sensemaking for Multi-Robot Search and Rescue
In this paper, we consider novel information sensemaking methods for search and rescue operations that combine principles of information fusion and collective intelligence in scalable solutions. We will elaborate on several approaches that originated in different areas of information integration, sensor data management, and multi-robot urban search and rescue missions.
