A Four-Flipper Tracked Robot for Exploration & Inspection in Life-threatening Environments

We describe a prototype of a professional service mobile robot designed for execution of remotely controlled exploration and inspection tasks in dangerous environments. Built as a four flipper/track robot equipped with sensors (cameras, thermovision cameras, temperature sensors, explosive gas detectors etc.), its aim is to explore buildings, detect potential sources of danger ( fire, explosive, poisonous gases, ruins, shaky obstacles etc.), and locate people caught in the accidents caused by flood, fire, earthquake or other natural and nonnatural disasters. The robot maintains wireless video and audio communication with the operator. Having independently controlled single-drive tracks/flippers, the robot construction and maneuverability allows easy overtaking of obstacles, including climbing the steps.
