Problem statement and objectives

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

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.
