The 2009 IEEE International Workshop on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics is dedicated to identifying and solving the key issues necessary to field capable robots across a variety of challenging applications. This seventh workshop in the series will address both the research challenges posed by search and rescue scenarios and the design of deployable robotic systems that satisfy user-defined requirements. It will create a unique opportunity for development and exchange of research ideas and technical solutions. As always, emergency responders and other expected users will be involved in presentations and discussions to ensure the practical relevance of technology developments for actual usage.
Topics for papers and demonstrations, include: Robot performance requirements and technical solutions for applications of SSRR (urban search and rescue, CBRN hazard detection/mitigation, explosive ordinance disposal, physical security, surveillance, etc) Locomotion for ground, aerial, aquatic, indoor, and collapsed structures Perception for navigation, hazard detection, and victim identification Mapping of complex environments (2-D, 3-D, GIS integration, etc) Manipulation capabilities (hazards, payloads, obstacles, doors, etc) Communications for reliable data transfer (tether management, radio, etc) Intelligent behaviors to improve robot performance and survivability Human-robot interfaces for improved remote situational awareness Autonomous search and exploration Multi-robot teams and mixed human-robot teams Training methods and other personnel issues Safety standards of robots and systems Evaluation and performance metric of robotic systems Emerging technologies (sensors, power sources, micro robots, etc) Emergency management issues related to robotics Mechanisms, Mechatronics, and Embedded Control |
