Development of a Prototype of a Search and Rescue Robot Equipped with Multiple Cameras

Search and Rescue Robotics is a field of research with practical but promising potential. The use of robotic systems in post-disaster search and rescue operations provides a rapid response to finding victims in a disaster area. Disasters occur suddenly and cause damage to people and property belonging to them. Search and Rescue Robots can be used in a disaster zone for various purposes such as searching for victims, removing rubbles, delivery of supplies, treatment, and evacuation of victims. In recent years, the role of Search and Rescue Robot has been increasing in a post-disaster operations. The contribution of various types of robots in search and rescue operations, such as humanoid robots, aerial robots, marine robots and rescue robots, wheeled and crawler robots, is increasing. In this paper, we develop a multifunctional search and rescue robot system for use in search and rescue operations. With the help of this robot, it is possible to remotely monitor the disaster zone in real-time.
