| Abstract [eng] |
Cobots are robots that are built for human-robot collaboration (HRC) in a shared environment. In the aftermath of disasters, cobots can work with humans to reduce risk and increase the possibility of rescuing people. In this work, the collaboration between a snake robot, first responders and people to be rescued is considered. The possibility of delivering first aid to a victim is implemented. The snake robot receives (from first responders or another robot) the site planimetry, the location of the person to be rescued, and a aiding good to be delivered. The snake robot plans the path to reach the victim. By using its prehensile capabilities, the snake robot grasps the aiding object to be dispatched. Consequently, the snake robot reaches the delivering location and releases the item. To demonstrate the potential of the framework, several case studies are outlined concerning the execution of operations that combine locomotion and grasping. |
