2. INTRODUCTION
 The idea of search and Rescue Robots emerged at the
beginning of the 1980s. Nevertheless, until the 1990s
there weren't any real development in this field.
Although robots are not widely used in actual search
and rescue situations at the moment the development
in this field seems quite promising.
 The benefits of rescue robots to these operations
include reduced personnel requirements, reduced
fatigue, and access to unreachable areas.

3.  A rescue robot is a robot that has been designed for
the purpose of rescuing people.Common situations
that employ rescue robots are mining accidents, urban
disasters, hostage situations, and explosions.
 Rescue robots in development are being made with
abilities such as searching, reconnaissance and
mapping, removing or shoring up rubble, delivery of
supplies, medical treatment, and evacuation of
casualties. Even with all these ideas coming about
there are still some technical challenges that remain.

4.  A visual system for the robot
 Human victim detection
 Hazardous material signs detection
 Easy to use interface for controlling the
robot
 Intelligent graphical user interface that
highlights only important information
to the operator

5. Needs & Ways Of Detection Of Humans

6.  Computer Vision - The computer vision system, to be
used to detect the various symbols such as the hazmat
signs, will be developed by taking an input stream of
video from the robots on-board cameras.
 Human Robot Interface - The Graphical User
Interface (GUI), through which the robot operator will
be given information from the robots on-board
instruments, such as its cameras, will be developed in
an Object Oriented Programming language such as
C++

7. . Robot Control Interface - The robotic control
interface will send all commands to the robot via
TCP/IP socket messages passed over the wireless
network, where the primary control system on the
robot will interpret these messages and forward them
to their respective sub-systems on the robot.

9. Types Of Rescue Robots
Aerial Rescue Robots
Fire Fighting Robots
Marine Rescue Robots
Medical Robots
Military Robots
Path Opening Robots
Snake Robots
Swarm Robots

10. Aerial Rescue Robots
 Aerial robots are designed and made for saving
humanlives. The first purpose of building the robot
is the relief of people drowning near coastlines.
 By developing its applications, it can be used in
ships and off shore reliefs.
 It can also be used in other applications such
asmonitoring of marine and off shore structures,
recording films and pictures from dangerouspath
ways for rescue missions, precisepositioning and
monitoring of off shore disastersand aid in
firefighting.

13. Fire Fighting Robots
 It is a robot that autonomously detect and extinguish
fire.It use flame sensor for detection and arduino
board for processing.Fire extinguisher along with
electronic valve( actuator) is used to extinguish the
detected fire.
 The robot rotates while actively scanning for fire. This
scanning is performed by sensors placed on the
sides.When a fire is detected, it moves in the direction
of fire an stops 30 cm in front of it and trigger the
extinguisher to turn out the fire.

15. Marine Rescue Robots
 Marine rescue robots are underwater vehicles which
are playing an increasing role in undrwater rescuing
and commercial offshore oil and gas operations like
oil and gas exploration, subsea work, repairs and
maintenance, and inspections.
 Existing technologies have been improved to
strengthen resilience, and new developments include
marine robotic vehicles that can deploy autonomous
life saving capsules, using mission planning software,
new sensors and new data acquisition capabilities to
detect and track survivors.

17. Medical Robots
 A medical robot is a robot that allows surgeons
greater access to areas under operation using more
precise and less invasive methods. They are in most
telemanipulators, which use the surgeon's actions on
one side to control the "effector" on the other side.

20. Military Robots
 Military robots are autonomous robots or remote-
controlled devices designed for military applications.
 The use of robots in warfare, although traditionally a
topic for science fiction, is being researched as a
possible future means of fighting wars. Already several
military robots have been developed by various armies.

22. Snake Robots
 A snake rbot is a biomorphic hyper-
redundant robot that resembles a snake.
 Snake robots come in all shapes and sizes
 The small cross section to length ratio allows snake
robots to move into, and maneuver through, tight
spaces.
 Their ability to change the shape of their body allows
them to perform a wide range of behaviours, such as
climbing stairs or tree trunks.

24.  Hurricanes, mudslides, earthquakes and terror attacks
often leave widespread damage and those injured can
often be very hard to reach for search and rescue teams.
Robots can play a vital role in getting life-saving aid to
those in need.
 Robots help because they are small enough to enter
confined spaces, or they can fly above damaged areas cut
off from road transport, which allows rescuers isolated
from the scene to find those in most urgent need of
attention.
 The benefits of rescue robots to these operations include
reduced personnel requirements, reduced fatigue, and
access to otherwise unreachable areas.
 So rescue robots will be an asset to future.
