Abstract:
This paper gives the details of the design and technologies to be incorporated in the
Robotic Platform of Team ‘Shaurya’ for the RoboCup Rescue Robot League, 2011. The entry
consists of a tracked robotic vehicle. The robot will be equipped with state of the art sensors for
localization, mapping and victim identification. The robot will be capable of navigating
autonomously in unknown environments while detecting and locating human victims and determining
their conditions. The robot would possess a camera mounted robotic arm for grasping
different objects. The entire robotic system along with the operator station would be designed
to provide the operator maximum information so as to plan effective and efficient victim
evacuation strategies
