After studying of post-earthquake environment, we develop a new kind of search and rescue robot, which can go into ruin interstices to implement rescue. Through the research of track and snake-like robot that used in searching and rescuing, we design a new kind of mechanism, which has advantages of both track and snake-like robots. This article also gives some details about the modular unit of track drive mechanism of the robot, the head turning mechanism actuated by tendon-sheath, and the control method of the robot system.

In digital era, robots are becoming an integral part of human life due to their efficiency and high performance. In recent years, search and rescue robot systems are used tremendously in a natural disaster. Nowadays, many areas of the world are getting affected due to natural disasters. Disasters can be exceptional and unstoppable events that are either man-made or natural, such as building collapse, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods, etc. This witnesses the importance of search and rescue robot systems in the emergency field. In the emergency field, a variety of sensing and wireless technologies are used in remote and vision control. The use of these technologies, the rescuers instead of going inside in the ruined area, can control remotely search and rescue robot systems when natural calamity occurs. These robot systems have the ability to move and monitor in the ruined area as a result of natural disasters such as building collapse, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods. In this paper, we design a sensor-based multi-functional search and rescue robot system for use in emergency situations. The system consists of an Arduino Mega board, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ board, servo motor, camera, Direct Current motor, motor driver module, stepper motor, Darlington Transistor Arrays, and ultrasonic sensor. The multi-functional search and rescue robot system has the ability to help the rescuers to search and show the ruined area from far away. The rescuers also could save their lives using this robot system. The main objective of this paper is to design a multi-functional, easy to control, microcontroller and Vision control based rescue robot system.

Active Search

According to the ruins caused by disaster, a new kind of search and rescue device SnakeRescuer is developed, which can actively go into ruin interstices to search and rescue victims. Inspired by industrial endoscope and snake-like robot which usually are used in searching and rescuing, a new kind of mechanism is designed, which has advantages of both industrial endoscope and snake-like robot. It consists of multi-section crawler modules and the base body which some like industrial endoscope but thicker and more rigid. Each crawler module is made up of four track units and could be attached to the base body and could drive the device to go into the ruins. According to the ruins of the environment, the track drive unit is designed first. Then a control method for the drive unit is designed. Finally, some basic experimental results show that the device can be applied to ruin rescuing.

In single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), because the laparoscope and other surgical instruments share the same incision, the interferences between them constrain the dexterity of surgical instruments and affect the field of views of the laparoscope. Inspired by the structure of the spherical motor and the driving method of an intraocular micro robot, a fully inserted laparoscopic robot system is proposed, which consists of an inner laparoscopic robot and external driving device. The position and orientation control of the inner laparoscopic robot are controlled by a magnetic field generated by the driving device outside the abdominal wall. The instrumental interferences can be alleviated and better visual feedback can be obtained by keeping the laparoscopic robot away from the surgical incision. To verify the feasibility of the proposed structure and explore its control method, a prototype system is designed and fabricated. The electromagnetism model and the mechanical model of the laparoscopic robot system are established. Finally, the translational, rotational, and deflection motion of the laparoscopic robot are demonstrated in practical experiment, and the accuracy of deflection motion of the laparoscopic robot is verified in open-loop condition.
