SU Wei-hu · Junshi yixue · 2014
During rescue operations in case of armed conflicts in cities,terrorist attacks and public health emergencies,rescuers are always in danger.For this reason,search for and rescue robots have been used to search and evacuate the wounded.They have also become a hot issue in current robotics technology research,promising a wide range of applications in civilian and military fields.This paper outlines the origin of rescue robot research,course of development and classification,focuses on the developments of and future research of the U.S army on evacuation and rescue robots,and finally presents the problems and key technical difficulties facing the development of such robots.This paper is interded to improve research methods and design theories of rescue robotics.
