Robot-Assisted Risky Intervention, Search, Rescue and Environmental Surveillance

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2010
Technology has become the solution to many long-standing problems, and while current technologies may be effective, it is far from fully addressing the hug, complex, difficult and challenging tasks associated with disaster missions and risky intervention.

The Nonfragile Controller with Covariance Constraint for Stable Motion of Quadruped Search-Rescue Robot

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2014
The problem of a stable motion for the quadruped search-rescue robots is described as a variance constrained uncertainty in the discrete systems. According to the model structure of the quadruped search-rescue robot, the kinematics of the robot is ...

Planning Hybrid Driving-Stepping Locomotion on Multiple Levels of Abstraction

open access: yes, 2018
Navigating in search and rescue environments is challenging, since a variety of terrains has to be considered. Hybrid driving-stepping locomotion, as provided by our robot Momaro, is a promising approach.

Exploring haptic interfacing with a mobile robot without visual feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Search and rescue scenarios are often complicated by low or no visibility conditions. The lack of visual feedback hampers orientation and causes significant stress for human rescue workers. The Guardians project [1] pioneered a group of autonomous mobile

Impact of Heterogeneity in Multi-Robot Systems on Collective Behaviors Studied Using a Search and Rescue Problem [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security and Rescue Robotics, 2020
Many species in nature demonstrate symbiotic relationships leading to emergent behaviors through cooperation, which are sometimes beyond the scope of the partnerships within the same species.

Value Iteration Networks on Multiple Levels of Abstraction

open access: yes, 2019
Learning-based methods are promising to plan robot motion without performing extensive search, which is needed by many non-learning approaches. Recently, Value Iteration Networks (VINs) received much interest since---in contrast to standard CNN-based ...

3D multi-robot patrolling with a two-level coordination strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Teams of UGVs patrolling harsh and complex 3D environments can experience interference and spatial conflicts with one another. Neglecting the occurrence of these events crucially hinders both soundness and reliability of a patrolling process.

Kinematic Design, Analysis and Simulation of a Hybrid Robot with Terrain and Aerial Locomotion Capability

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Having only one type of locomotion mechanism limits the stability and locomotion capability of a mobile robot on irregular terrain surfaces. One of the possible solution to this is combining more than one locomotion mechanisms in the robot. In this paper,
