Integrated robotics systems for enhanced search-and-rescue

Disclaimer: The content in this document has been prepared in the framework of a student design project and is not officially sanctioned by the Naval Academy or any delegates represented thereof.

SARNet will enhance current Search-and-Rescue efforts

VALUE: Incremental saving of human life DELIVERABLES: SARNet System PROBLEMS:

Non-optimal use of current systems Lack of ability to make medical assessments of victims

GOAL: Increase probability of rescue and survival in disaster scenarios

2 Problem Purpose Existing Tech Solution Implementa tion Future

Current state faces two main challenges

3

Single Systems/Limited Capacity

• Low efficiency
• Human operators are required
• Systems are not widely used

Lack of Medical Assessment

• Current systems can’t make initial

medical assessment of victims

Problem Purpose Existing Tech Solution Implementa tion Future

SARNet to increase survivability in disaster situations

5 Problem Purpose Existing Tech Solution Implementa tion Future

Effective use of robotic systems Better management of human, robotic, and medical resources Make initial assessment of victim and surroundings

Improvement of victim survivability

SARNet to allow for integrated cooperation

6 Problem Purpose Existing Tech Solution Implementa tion Future

Cooperation between robotic systems Interactions between humans (victims/ responders) and robots Connecting victims and families post- disaster

Existing technologies yield room for improvement

ALADDIN

• Research team application that uses

game theory to decide victim rescue

• rder (Aladdinproject.org)

SENEKA, IEEE

• Sensor network for mobile robots to

communicate during disaster managment

Problem Purpose Existing Tech Solution Implementa tion Future

• Used for immediate site surveillance

and analysis

Quadcopters and drones

Solution requires integration of specialized robots into one cooperative system

10

• Seneka robots help in locating people

Locate

• Commmunicate with Aladdin robots to help rescue workers

determine where help is needed

Communicate

• Diagnosis robots take skin temperature, capillary refill, heart

rate, images of victims, stress level and report back to radio station

Diagnose

• Rescue workers know what to do for each victim using

diagnosis

Training Funding

Future state will enable additional system efficiencies

Fully autonomous system will be independent of human interaction University grants U.S. Government

Autonomy

Training of workers to implement system necessary for workers jobs to accommodate the changing
