Project plan

Problem statement and objectives

We want to do our project about rescue robots (for natural disasters).

Who are the users?

We don't know precisesly what we want to do, but the users will probably be something in the line of rescue teams, a government, help organisations and of course the victims the robots will help.

What do they require?

State of the art: literature study

To determine the state of the art surrounding our project we will do a literature study.

Disaster robotics

This article gives an overview of rescue robotics and some characteristics that may be used to classify them. The article also contains a case study of the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear power plant accident that gives an overview of how some robots where used. On top of that the article gives some challenges that are still present with rescue robotics.

Underwater Research and Rescue Robot

This article is about an underwater rescue robot that gives necessary feedback in rescuing missions. This underwater robot has more computng power than the current underwater drones and reduces delay by the use of ethernet cable.
