| dc.description.abstract | The significance of developing autonomous robotic systems has grown, especially for search and rescue (SAR) missions during emergencies. The project intends to meet the urgent demand for victim localization in dangerous areas due to man-made and natural disasters. Current SAR technologies are problematic for human rescuers because of unstable structures, hazardous materials, and poor visibility. By finding victims, finding their way through rubble on their own, and giving rescue teams vital information, mobile robots with sophisticated sensing, navigation, and communication skills might reduce these hazards. Adaptive navigation in dynamic situations, dependable communication, and efficient coordination are important for the robot for accurate localisation and mapping. By creating rule-based algorithms for autonomous navigation, localization, and mapping, the localization and navigation control are developed using MATLAB for simulation. A prototype robot was developed with light and ultrasonic sensors and communication modules. The robot's performance is evaluated and improved via simulations and controlled field tests, emphasising metrics like communication dependability, navigation accuracy, and localization precision. From the results, the robot successfully works under simulation and controlled environment and can provide real-time localization. The outcome is useful for locating victims during search and rescue operations. | |
