Rescue Robot League

 





Background

League Vision for 2050:

When disaster happens, minimize risk to search and rescue personnel while increasing victim survival rates by fielding teams of collaborative robots which can:

  • autonomously negotiate compromised/collapsed structures

  • find victims and ascertain their condition

  • produce practical maps of their locations

  • deliver sustenance and communications

  • identify hazards

  • provide structural shoring

...allowing human rescuers to quickly locate and extract victims.


Competition Mission:

  • Objectively evaluate mobile robots in a challenging and realistic environment
  • Develop performance metrics and standards for mobile robots  
  • Foster collaboration among robotic researchers
