TrackReitar Medical: A Rescue Robot

Emergency response robots for rescue operations

Modernity presents many situations for which humans are not adapted. Unlike previous generations, people of the present time are used to many inventions, of which they could only dream or not even guess that they could exist before. Like everything in this world, man does not stand. Still, he adapts and invents more new gadgets that greatly simplify and improve people's lives. People can't imagine their lives without many such gadgets and improvements. However, not all areas of existence are covered by such outstanding research. Some of them remain little studied and little adapted to the new reality.

For example, natural, man-made, social, and other dangerous situations have become even more frequent in ecosystems under unstable environmental conditions, difficulties in human adaptation to the changing realities of the world, as well as his limited knowledge of the unexplored. Such events often threaten not only human health and life but tangible and intangible property and goods so necessary for man. The frequency and power of such problems occurring on our planet progress every year. When emergencies arise, emergency rescue work is carried out in most cases; the main focus is to save human life and health and reduce the amount of damage to the environment and material losses.

The diversity of all these destructive natural and natural-anthropogenic phenomena are divided into four main groups:

• geological emergencies,

• hydrological disasters,

• fires,

• meteorological cataclysms (movement of air masses).

To date, humankind seeks to minimize the events of disasters and their consequences, inventing new means of protection. Technical advances in rescue work are developing rapidly, leading to robotic technological complexes (RTK), a remote-controlled, semi-autonomous, and autonomous mode to conduct search and rescue operations. Most often, in such cases, robots with walking thrusters are used.

Every day new complications arise, some of which require quite a lot of time to work through, although at first, they look like simple tasks with a quick solution. Everyone knows that robots are often used in difficult situations, both morally and physically. In such cases, there are problems with applying emergency response robots in structures that do not allow the signal to spread. It is complicated to use mobile robots, as wireless control can be interrupted, and cable makes passing the machine in uncertain environments difficult. Detecting humans indoors is one of the significant challenges during rescue operations. In the ideal application of robots in the medical field, the priority is to locate the person, determine their condition, and call a rescuer, a medical professional, or a more robust or more powerful robot to help remove the body from the rubble if necessary.
