Meanwhile, physical robots like Hermes the
rescue robot from MIT, and Atlas, the robot that can Parkour, from Boston Dynamics, look distinctly male in their shape and form.
The
rescue robot vehicle comes equipped with two basket stretchers with sliding provisions, head and foot immobilizers, oxygen masks and canisters, a monitor defibrillator, and other medical gear.
Tian has designed in [13] a hybrid navigation control strategy for
rescue robot. In this paper, the idea of developing a hybrid control architecture is adopted, as it suits with the environment in which the robot moves.
This year, MRL took second place in the
rescue robot competition, trailing only the iRAP Robot team from King Mongkut's University of Technology in Bangkok.
The entries included: Ultrasonic blind helper stick (Owais Rasool), Design and importance of anti-lock braking system (Salman Shalwani),
Rescue robot using grid based navigator system (Abu Bakkar) and Decentralized multi-robot task allocation (Fatima Zareen).
"The
rescue robot has been designed to help injured troopers in war zones and provide first aid to them, said Hadi Zare, one of the researchers of the team, the Iranian students' news agency reported.
Among the topics are analyzing power supply maintenance in transport telematics systems, creating terrain maps for unmanned ground platforms, experimental research on the directional stability of articulated tractors, a reliability model of motorway emergency communication systems, an automatically controlled anti-collision maneuver and its numerical simulation with disturbances, predicting the spatial orientation of a ship by means of neural networks, characterizing the matrix game sensitivity of the safe passing of ships at sea, analyzing parameters of the impact of a traveling wave on the speed of a biomimetic underwater vehicle, and evaluating he stiffness of fire
rescue robot suspension with hydropneumatic components.

rescue robot simulation," ROBOT, vol.
In this article, we introduce the RoboCup Rescue leagues, namely the
Rescue Robot League (RRL) and the Rescue Simulation League (RSL) (Tadokoro et al.
Meanwhile Andrew Cowan from Sutton has been awarded UK Young Engineer of the Year for his project, a Search and
Rescue Robot which includes a camera and fire extinguisher which allows the user to control the robot and view environmental information from a remote control panel.
At the call of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Tmsuk Co., a robot builder based in Munakata, Fukuoka Prefecture, has put its
rescue robot T-53 Enryu on standby at a dedicated facility in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, about 50 kilometers northeast of Tokyo and 170 kilometers southwest of the power plant in Fukushima Prefecture devastated by the March 11 magnitude-9.0 quake and tsunami.
