Mobile robots are currently being developed to help rescue workers in urban disaster environments to search for survivors. Our research focuses on developing robust 3-D sensors that can be used in robotic rescue missions to map these unknown cluttered environments and determine the locations of victims. This paper presents the development of a new active 3-D sensory system for robotic search and rescue...
Current applications of mobile robots in urban search and rescue (USAR) environments require a human operator in the loop to help guide the robot remotely. Although human operation can be effective, the unknown cluttered nature of the environments make robot navigation and victim identification highly challenging. Operators can become stressed and fatigued very quickly due to a loss of situational...
