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.

Robots are slowly finding their way into the hands of search and rescue groups. One of the robots contributing to this effort is the Inuktun VGTV-Xtreme series by American Standard Robotics. This capable robot is one of the only robots engineered specifically for the search and rescue domain. This paper describes the adaptation of the VGTV platform from an industrial inspection robot into a cap...

The search and rescue robot’s main goal is to search for any survivor’s in a disaster situation. The course will resembles a miniature of what a disaster situation looks like after an earthquake. We proposed rescue robot to make it getting smarter, safe path from itself to the targets by path planning. We are making a semi-autonomous control rescue robot which allow human operator to share and ...

This paper describes our team’s recent work and the research agenda for the RoboCup 2014 Rescue Virtual Robot League. We have two goal ; one of them is generating a map by multi-robot, the other one is making a test field to evaluate the performance of the response robot. Creating maps from data measured by mono-robot or multi-robot with ROS was described in a 2013 TDP of our team, and we find ...

The increasing interest towards rescue robotics and the complexity of typical rescue environments make it necessary to use high fidelity 3D simulators during the application development phase. USARSim is an open source high fidelity simulator for rescue environments, based on a commercial game engine. In this paper, we describe the development of an autonomous rescue robot within the USARSim si...

A basic task of rescue robot systems is mapping of the environment. Localizing injured persons, guiding rescue workers and excavation equipment requires a precise 3D map of the environment. This paper presents a new 3D laser range finder and novel scan matching method for the robot Kurt3D [9]. Compared to previous machinery [12], the apex angle is enlarged to 360◦. The matching is based on sema...

We propose a rescue robot sensor network system in which a teleoperated rescue robot sets up a wireless sensor network (WSN) to gather disaster information in post-disaster underground spaces. In this system, the rescue robot carries wireless sensor nodes (SNs) and deploys them between gateways in an underground space on demand by the operator’s command to establish a safe approach path before ...

Now a days child often fall down in the borehole which is left uncovered and get trapped. It is very difficult and also risky to rescue the trapped children. A small delay in the rescue can cost the child his or her life. The objective of the project is to construct and design a bore well rescue robot (i:e to rescue a trapped baby from bore well). This project is a human controlled robot that g...

Nowadays, the number of disasters occurred and the people affected have been increased. Every day, newspapers report new disasters around the world. Immediately after the occurrence of a disaster, the first responders go to the affected region to rescue people and solve eventual problems. These areas offer many dangers to the rescue team. So it is very important to first verify the safety of th...
