Semi-autonomous robotic system for reconnaissance

The paper describes a technical solution of a mobile robotic system for initial reconnaissance of an area of emergency events with partially autonomous functions. The paper states current trends in the area of inspectional mobile robotics, sensory subsystems, and the way of processing the data acquired from the similar used systems. The paper provides an overview of the initial state of the robotic system and its identified drawbacks. It describes in detail the proposed and implemented modifications of the robotic system and the way of testing its functionality. A new feature of the modified robotic system is implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) approach in data processing. The robotic system is proposed in a way that enables it to easily extend with more sensors and functions of the control application.
