Reconnaissance Robot for Rescue Services

Abstract

The spherical robots are becoming very popular in the field for many scientists and researchers working with surveillance, military, or transportation systems. This paper deals with comparing of each driving mechanism of the spherical robot. The vast majority of spherical robots only have inertial sensors, which they use for movement, positioning, travel balancing, etc. Few spherical robots can interact with the environment. Those who can do this have sensors that can measure the properties of the environment or can influence the environment in some way. The article also deals with the possibility to use sensors like cameras, gas sensors, thermocouples, and LiDARs. Data from these sensors will be processed using artificial intelligence techniques to detect anomalies in the environments. Chosen sensors can expand a robot's sensing capabilities which are usually very narrow. The aim of the article is to design s special type of spherical robot. If we join all these components together we can create a reconnaissance spherical robot for rescue services special designated for tunnels or closed spaces.The prototype is a financially inexpensive robot, which is also suitable for the teaching process, as an element that collects data from the environment (sensors, video, etc.), which will be used for working with AI tools.
