Problem statement and objectives
“Two large earthquakes struck the southeastern region of Turkey near the border with Syria on Monday, killing thousands and toppling residential buildings across the region.” (AJLabs, 2023) The earthquakes were both above 7.5 on the Richter scale. Which caused buildings to be displaced from foundations with people still in it. Some people survived the fall when a building collapsed, but then they are still trapped between all of the rubble.
After earthquakes of high magnitude, it is necessary to rescue survivors from destroyed buildings as fast as possible. Namely, the chances of finding people alive in rubble fade with each passing day. However, it can be hard for human rescuers and rescue dogs to reach these areas due to the dangers of collapsing buildings. Therefore, the usage of robotics can be introduced in these rescue operations. In this report it is investigated how the usage of robotics could improve localizing alive people after earthquakes of high magnitude. This would hopefully increase the number of people that is saved after such a natural disaster. In order to do this, literature research is conducted …
