Abstract

Mobile robots are integrated into a search and rescue team as tools for searching victims in dangerous areas that is harmful for human, so as to follow the human entity during the mission. Generalized Local Voronoi Diagram (GLVD) algorithm is introduced to model the area, coverage and cooperation. The senor based motion planning is implemented on the robots for navigation of the area and coverage. The focus here is on the rescue of entities present following area coverage. A brief description of the on-going research and the results obtained is also provided.
