The proposed approach consists of two steps. Having a globally accurate coarse map of the environment developed using a conventional technique such as SLAM or SfM with bundle adjustment, the proposed first step plans a path for the robot to revisit the environment while maintaining a desired distance to all occupied regions of interest since the resolution and the local accuracy of the map typically depends on the distance from which objects in the environment are observed. An Unoccupancy Distance Map (UDM) and a reduced-order Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) techniques are newly proposed to solve this class of problems. In the final step, an online path replanning and map refinement technique is proposed to achieve the targeted resolution and local accuracy of the map. Parametric studies have firstly validated the effectiveness of the proposed two steps. The autonomous capability of the proposed approach has then been demonstrated successfully in its use for a practical mission.","PeriodicalId":272862,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115643398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is developed to provide a sense of remote presence for the operator. Different types of interfaces and camera setups have been proposed previously. Our novel approach is to have a moving stereo vision camera mounted on a robotic arm in the remote scene controlled with a virtual reality (VR) headset. By streaming live stereo video into the VR headset in a video see-through configuration the operator experiences a sense of remote presence. The teleoperation task is done using two more robotic arms. These arms are set up in a mirror teleoperation setting so that the remote (follower) arm copies the movements of the control (leader) arm. To investigate the effect of latency on the operator a within-subject usability study of the system with 20 participants has been conducted. Participants completed a pick-and-place task sorting objects into marked containers in two conditions. In one condition, the camera robot arm was controlled by a joint position controller with low latency but jittery robot motion. In the other condition, the camera robot was controlled by a joint velocity controller with higher latency but smooth motion. Participants completed the System Usability Scale questionnaire after each trial. The task completion time and participants' head movement were also recorded as objective measures. The study result did not show a significant difference in any of the objective or subjective measures, although, the position controller scored higher overall. This could be due to the number of participants or the ability of people to adapt to the latency in the system and further analysis in future work is required.","PeriodicalId":272862,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128087784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to these challenges, a European-Japanese consortium initiated the EU Horizon-2020 project CURSOR (*). Its primary objective is to develop an innovative Search and Rescue (SAR) Kit that will be mobile, quick to deploy and easy to operate. An important component of the SAR Kit is the CURSOR Drone Fleet (CDF). This paper describes the advantages and the limitations of the CDF, consisting of Tethered Mothership Drone (MD), Ground Penetrating Radar Drone (GPRD), Advanced Situational Awareness Drone (ASAD), Transport Drone (TD) and Modelling Drones (MOD). More specifically, the inherent technical and logistical limitations of the CDF are analyzed in relation to the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) technology, such as: (1) drone take-off weight optimization, (2) impact of no-fly zones and electronic stray signals, and (3) meteorological conditions (ambient air temperature, wind speed, gustiness). CDF provides First Responders (FR) on scene with (a) continuous drone-based aerial surveillance up to 100 m above ground; (b) aerial photos, HD video and thermal images of the disaster area; (c) radar-based information on potential survivors buried under rubble; and (d) 3D model of the disaster area with low- or high resolution. The proposed CDF in the CURSOR Kit is demonstrated as a key component in improving operational effectiveness of field teams in future SAR missions.","PeriodicalId":272862,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133361864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, the nuclear scene is mostly dominated by manual labour. Radiation protection officers have the task of characterising an environment, which is often unknown a priori, before any dismantling and decomissioning activity can take place. Besides the potential involved health risks, going from radiation disease to an increase in the risk of cancer, this important preliminary task is very time-consuming and prone to errors concerning the taken measurements, storage and post-processing of the recorded data. To minimise the disadvantages, this paper presents the design and development of a proof-of-concept semi-autonomous, ground-based mobile manipulator robot ARCHER (Autonomous Robot platform for CHaractERization) suited for radiological monitoring purposes. Besides the mechanical and electrical overview of the design of the mobile manipulator, this paper describes the software tools used to build and deploy the robot. In addition, this paper describes the results of several in-situ laboratory experiments where the mobile manipulator platform is asked to perform a radiological scanning task on a wall.","PeriodicalId":272862,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123981850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This allows the user to generate several variants of a base scenario for strategic planning and algorithm validation. The simulator can receive high-level command inputs to control a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), and human avatars. The simulated robot models are built with high fidelity control and navigation capabilities which can be readily deployed on real robot platforms. We use Astralis simulator to analyze human-robot coordination algorithms for tracking, following and leading targets in a search and rescue mission. The algorithm is validated using a UAV and a UGV in simulation and on physical platforms.

Underground floors of the radioactive waste management facility were utilized as a temporary storage for contaminated water, and hundreds of sandbags containing zeolite particles were placed onto the floors to remove radioactivity from the water. As the decommissioning work has been ongoing for over a decade now, all zeolite sandbags must be removed, and the floors dried up. A survey was conducted in this highly irradiated environment to investigate the unknown recent conditions of the zeolite and floor structures. A remotely operated USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) named “ROV-boat”, modified from a reliable commercial off-the-shelf ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), was developed for this purpose. The ROV-boat was equipped with two cameras and a dosimeter installed on the body, with an external float for increased buoyancy, allowing it to move on the water surface to conduct a detailed survey of the environment. The prototype was evaluated and improved iteratively following an agile development approach. The ROV-boat was successfully developed by TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) several times in the summer of 2021, attaining valuable data for the future dry-up process.","PeriodicalId":272862,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129200774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
