Introduction

Problem statement

Robot for saving victims in a fire

Objectives

...

Users

Firefighters and first responders would be the primary users of the robot. These are the people that need to interact and deploy the robot in the first place. This means that the robot should be easy and quick to use and set up for in emergency situations where time is of the essence. It'd also be valuable to know their insights and experiences for the robot to work the most effectively in their field of expertise.

The secondary user of a firefighting/rescue robot would be the victims and civilians. The robot is made to help them and come to their aid. It might be needed to find a way to communicate with the victims so they can be assisted most effectively.

Title	Summary	Link
A Victims Detection Approach for Burning Building Sites Using Convolutional Neural Networks	They trained a convolutional neural network to detect people and pets in thermal IR, images. They gathered their own dataset to train the network. The network results were pretty accurate.	https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9031275
Early Warning Embedded System of Dangerous Temperature Using Single exponential smoothing for Firefighters Safety	Proposes to add a temperature sensor to a firefighter's suit which will warn firefighters that they are in a very hot place > 200 C.	https://shorturl.at/bcGJ2
