1. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MINI-SIZE
SEARCH ROBOT
Using robots in hazardous or dangerous situations can significantly reduce the risk of
humans who need to work in such circumstances. The last decades witness that several
correlative robots have been developed successfully with different aims. Unfortunately, most
robots are too huge and heavy to carry out search tasks in some narrow areas of city such as
narrow aisles of buildings or pipelines of factories. On the other hand, currently in tasks of
counterterrorism in city, it is also in urgent desire to search the chassis of vehicle where it is a
good place to hide dangerous materials, like bomb, and the risk is quite high for inspector to
search the vehicle under such circumstance, but most of existing search robots are unsuitable
because of their huge size. This paper describes our efforts to develop a mini-size search robot to
address challenges stated above.
Existing System:
Most of the robots are too huge and heavy to carry out search tasks in some narrow areas
of city such as narrow aisles of buildings or pipelines of factories. To avoids this mini-size
search robot is designed.
Proposed System:
This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a mini-size search robot, which
is novel and could be extremely valuable as a search platform to carry out such tasks as
searching some narrow areas of city and chassis of vehicle for detection of hazardous or
dangerous materials. The robot has a small and solid structure with tracks. A modular electronic
system has been developed for the robot, and a friendly human-robot interface has been designed
to provide an effective communication between the robot and its operator. In order to utilize the
hardware of the robot, a modular, simple yet robust supervision system has been developed for
the robot, and a realtime and reliable video transmission architecture has been built to facilitate
the teleoperation of the robot. Experimental results both in the building and field show that the
robot could achieve the design goal.
