Abstract

This paper presents a human-robot collaboration framework which describes a comprehensive structure of rescue robots which are expected to collaborate with human in urban search and rescue (USAR). We develop a victim’s autonomous search and rescue robotic system based on biomimetic sensing technology and discuss the information flow model and control mode transition between human and robot. The intelligence control architecture used for human-robot collaboration is also proposed. Experiments indicate that this system makes the collaboration convenient and the rescue robotics utilizing the intelligence control architecture search and discover victims promptly and efficiently.
