Mobile robot olfaction: Towards search and rescue robot dogs

2020 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR), 2020
Smell is a valuable sense for search and rescue operations. These are frequently carried out by human brigades supported by highly skilled dogs which are trained to search, detect, and track the scent of victims or lost persons. Robots have been used in the past twenty years or so in multiple disaster scenarios, namely as a tool used for visual ...

Continual planning for search and rescue robots

2015 IEEE-RAS 15th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids), 2015
The deployment of robots for emergency response tasks such as search and rescue is a promising application of robotics with growing importance. Given the perilous nature of these tasks, autonomous robot operation is highly desirable in order to reduce the risk imposed on the human rescue team.

Accepted Autonomy for Search and Rescue Robotics

2014
Since exploration of unknown disaster areas during Search and Rescue missions is often dangerous, teleoperated robotic platforms are usually used as a suitable replacement for a human rescuer. Advanced robotic platforms have usually many degrees of freedom to be controlled, e.g. speed, azimuth, camera view or articulated sub-tracks angles.

Performance Optimisation of Mobile Robots for Search-and-Rescue

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
This paper presents a team performance optimisation system for multiple mobile robots in search-and-rescue operations, in which refugees are first discovered and subsequently robots are dispatched to transport themto shelters. Coordination of mobile robots involves two fundamental issues, namely task allocation and motion planning.

Hopping mobility concept for search and rescue robots

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2008
PurposeThis paper seeks to present recent work demonstrating the feasibility of Microbots' mobility in rough terrain. Microbots are a new search and rescue concept based on the deployment of teams of small spherical mobile robots. In this concept, hundreds to thousands of cm‐scale, sub‐kilogram Microbots are released over a search site such as ...

Exploring the Ethical Landscape of Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue

2017
As robots are increasingly used in Search and Rescue (SAR) missions, it becomes highly relevant to study how SAR robots can be developed and deployed in a responsible way. In contrast to some other robot application domains, e.g. military and healthcare, the ethics of robot-assisted SAR are relatively under examined. This paper aims to fill this gap by

A Novel Search Strategy for Autonomous Search and Rescue Robots

2005
In this work, a novel search strategy for autonomous search and rescue robots, that is highly suitable for the environments when the aid of human rescuers or search dogs is completely impossible, is proposed. The work area for a robot running this planning strategy can be small voids or possibly dangerous environments.
