The Benefits and Methodologies of Rescue Robots

Introduction and overview of the system The rescue robot is a robot designed to rescue people when rescue robots such as mining accidents, urban disasters, hostage incidents, explosions occur. Advantages of rescue robots for these tasks include reduction of personnel, reduction of fatigue, and access to other unreachable areas. Since then, many new ideas on rescue robots have embodied. These robots are very important in disaster scenarios and we hope to do better.

More and more research and development projects focus on using robots for search and rescue missions. Academic and industrial researchers are collaborating to improve robotic assets for the operation of Urban Search and Rescue (USAR). In 2001, the international joint project team RoboCup and the American Artificial Intelligence Association (AAAI) jointly held the 2001 AAAI / RoboCup robot rescue campaign (Casper & Yanco, 2002). As well as the major challenges of DARPA, this event is designed to drive researchers to continue working on better robot design for use in operation of USAR. This event also provided a simulation environment for researchers to learn more about various aspects of HRI.

The rescue robot is a robot designed to save people. General situations in which rescue robots are used are mining accidents, urban disasters, hostage incidents and explosions. Advantages of rescue robots for these tasks include reduction of personnel, reduction of fatigue, and access to other unreachable areas. The rescue robot under development carries out search, reconnaissance and mapping, rubbing removal or support, transportation of goods, medical treatment, evacuation of casualties and the like. Even with all these ideas, there are still some technical challenges. Robin Murphy, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, says: "The actual disaster is not a general one, everyone is different, it is a new technology."
