Problem statement

With our climate changing natural disasters are happening at a larger rate.(4) Thus, we, as humanity, need to prepare for these disasters and try to prevent them. Unfortunately, this will not always work and in the cases this doesn’t work these disasters can cause a lot of damage. One of the results of natural disasters is collapsed buildings. When this happens search and rescue is necessary to save the people trapped inside the building.

Experience has shown that the chances of survival are highest when people have been rescued within 72 hours (2). After this time frame, the number of survivors found drops drastically. So, it is especially important to have all hands on deck as soon as possible. This is where robots can be of great help.

One of the reasons that we do not make this 72 hour deadline, is that it might be too dangerous for the search and rescue workers to go inside of the rubble. There is danger of collapse, which for the workers could be detrimental. Luckily, robotica can help us work around this problem in various ways. Robots can be used to map the building underneath the rubble and help find victims in places the rescue workers are not able to access[1].

Advances in robotics still have to be made to make this work even better. So we will define the shortcomings that exist today and try to find where the next innovations can be made.

The robots were on site from 11 September until 2 October 2001. This was the first known actual use of robots for USAR. The robots were used for ◆ searching for victims ◆ searching for paths through the rubble that would be quicker to excavate ◆ structural inspection ◆ detection of hazardous materials In each case, small robots were used because they could go deeper than traditional search equipment (robots routinely went 5–20 m into the interior of the rubble pile versus 2 m for a camera mounted on a pole), could enter a void space too small for a human or search dog, or could enter a place still on fire or posing great risk of structural collapse. → situaties waar er veel debris/rubble is, moeilijk voor search & rescue bepaalde gebieden te bereiken (e.g. 9/11 gebouw instorting, aardbevingen, maar ook tsunami’s of na een brand etc)

In response to this crisis, it was decided that mobile rescue robots would be used to carry out surveillance missions. important features of these robots: ◆ First, the radiation tolerance of the electronic components was checked by means of gamma ray irradiation tests, which were conducted using the facilities of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). ◆ Next, the usability of wireless communication in the target environment was assessed. ◆ the team mounted additional devices to facilitate the installation of a water gauge in the basement of the reactor buildings to determine flooding levels.

URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE (USAR) is the emergency response function which deals with the collapse of man-made structures → e.g. WTC 9/11 small robots which can fit inside a backpack have a unique capability to collect useful data in USAR situations. Robots can enter voids too small or deep for a person, and can begin surveying larger voids that people are not permitted to enter until a fire has been put out or the structure has been reinforced, a process that can take over eight hours. They can carry cameras, thermal imagers, hazardous material detectors, and medical payloads into the interior of a rubble pile far beyond where a boroscope can reach.

The rescue robots help in the exploration of unknown, confined and cluttered environments. Multiple robots are developed to explore the disaster affected region and will be able to detect any people or living beings present there. The robots have living beings as their targets in tragedy affected areas. The multiple robots deployed in the field, traverse through the tragedy affected area. A novel algorithm has been developed which helps in finding the target. The rescue robots are programmed to find the shortest and less obstacle path to reach the target. Due to the tragedy affected environment, the robots decide the moving direction based on the information gathered by sensors such that the optimal path between start and goal positions can be found. The path to target by the robots are shared among them and the best path is chosen among them. The robots explore and search the region avoiding the obstacles and whenever it comes into contact with a living being it shares the information among other robots. The CO2 level of the particular region is also checked to know whether the person is in a breathing state. The algorithm will be developed in order to increase the pace of the search and to locate the living being. The SAR robots have application over tragedy affected areas like earthquake, avalanche, etc.

The University of South Florida (USF) was one of the four robot teams, and the only academic institution represented. The USF team participated onsite in the search efforts from 12-21 September 2001, collecting and archiving data on the use of all robots, in addition to actively fielding robots. This article provides an overview of the use of robots for USAR, concentrating on what robots were actually used and why. It describes the roles that the robots played in the response and the impact of the physical environment on the platforms. The quantitative and qualitative performance of the robots are summarized in terms of their components (mobility, sensors, control, communications, and power) and within the larger human-robot system. Lessons learned are offered and a synopsis of the current state of rescue robotics and activities at the CRASAR concludes the article.

They are an ideal target for robot technology to keep away fire fighters from danger. Moreover, it makes possible to rescue much more victims. Some fire departments have already developed and deployed fire fighting and rescue robots. However, the performance of the robots is not enough. The author considers and examines them from two points of view: "size and weight" and "cost and performance". Base on the considerations, the author proposes five important elements to develop useful and reasonable priced robots for fire departments. The robots should make possible to save and rescue much more lives. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8272649?casa_token=82oetxA3YwAAAAAA:-hXcPWcxkbtcK9RkdC1Wv5r1LeuzaepaQj736jLoA3Em8vKvVFclp0lzmEVigvXTcX3wtWlrzA With the advent of technology, humans are replaced with robots in life-threatening situations. We aim to design a robot capable of detecting and suppressing fires. By designing and implementing an autonomous robot capable of detecting and extinguishing flames, disasters can be avoided with minimal risk to human life. In this research, we illustrate an autonomous robot capable of detecting flames indoors and maneuvering towards the flame to extinguish it with the help of carbon dioxide.

This article describes how robots can help overcome the flaws of using dogs. For example collecting data and the location where the dog found the survivor. This way the location is known even when rescue workers could not follow the dog to the location. Using dogs, transportation is not a problem, since the dog can bring the robot to the desired location.
