Abstract :
This paper presents the framework to provide for the prototyping of autonomous search and rescue robots test arena. Test arenas are scaled down physical representation of disaster areas. The arena is embedded with sensors to measure the performance matrices of intelligent autonomous robot prototypes as it navigates across the test bed.
