Indoor Aerial Robot Competition: Challenges in Search and Rescue Applications

Abstract

Tasks like bomb-detection, search-and-rescue, and re-connaissance in near-Earth environments are time, cost and labor intensive. Aerial robots could assist in such missions and offset the demand in resources and per-sonnel. However, ¤ying in environments rich with ob-stacles presents many more challenges which have yet to be identi£ed. For example, telephone wire is one ob-stacle that is known to be hard to detect in mid-¤ight. This paper describes how a blimp can be used in an aerial robot competition to identify other key challenges when ¤ying in these cluttered environments.
