Disaster Companion
A driverless assistance system for operational situations
The project idea
- Robot carries material and equipment not directly needed by the attack squad, such as stretchers, axes and spare gas cylinders.
- Robot follows a specific person of the squad
- Robot can be parked to act as an advance material storage facility
- Goal: speeding up operations by picking up loads
Partial aspects
- Dynamic person detection and tracking
- Efficient robot tracker
- Cognition under poor visibility conditions
Smart folding structures
Advantages of folding
- Low transport dimensions with large set-up dimensions
- Optimal for temporary use
- Scalable and combinable
- Subsystems can be intelligently networked
Smart folding
- Perception of the environment by sensors: for example: load, water level and noise level.
- Opening and closing based on an activation function
Task planning for mixed teams
Taking advantage: The Mixed Team
- Consists of robots, humans and drones.
- Goal: Exploit advantages of humans and machines!
Agile task planning for complex scenarios
- Unknown set of tasks before deployment
- Agile planning of mixed team tasks during deployment.
- Human and drone can collect and determine tasks, human retains control
