  • Abstract
Rescue workers and fire fighters’ job mostly require entering to disaster zones such as factories accident areas, collapsed mines, or burned buildings to perform rescue operations. In addition to human caused disasters, the aftermath of natural disasters such as tornados, earthquakes and tsunamis requires them to be present in order to contain the disaster, help injured victims, and guide trapped victims to a safe exit. The lives of the rescue workers and fire fighter are always at risk in such accidents, since they have no prior knowledge of accident source, environment, and location. Thereby, Search and Rescue Robot (SRR) is an excellent alternative, in which it can perform certain tasks of rescue workers and fire fighters without endangering their life. In a case of disaster, SRR can be sent directly to the danger zones to navigate and provide helpful information regarding the cause of the accident, location of the hazard spots, number of trapped or injured victims, the conditions inside the danger zone, and several other functions. The use of SRR will improve the quality of rescue missions because it can provide important data from the heart of the accident where it is too risky for human to go in. In addition, it can identify the number and the status of the trapped victims and even supply basic equipment, which in some cases can be lifesaving, such as masks and fire blankets in accident which include fires. In this project we designed and fabricated a prototype of search and rescue robot that can perform multiple tasks and can navigate in rough surfaces. The SRR can be controlled from a distance station where the operator can manipulate the SRR movement and its grapping arm while monitoring the surrounding environment using video camera and different sensors. The fabricated prototype successfully passed all the tests that was set to examine its performance.
