Natural and man-made disasters are events that unfortunately hit society causing thousands of deaths every year. It is important to develop technologies that can allow for safer and cheaper search and rescue (SAR) operations. Robotics technologies can play a fundamental role in this regard. We will present solutions developed for particularly challenging SAR operations, stimulate discussions about requirements, adopted technology, and identify the main challenges to overcome to develop robotics solutions that meet the expectations and are affordable for the SAR teams.
Workshop organizers: Claudio Paliotta and Giancarlo Marafioti, researchers at SINTEF.
