Alive human body detection system using an autonomous mobile rescue robot

Abstract

In this paper, a new approach for detecting alive humans in destructed environments using an autonomous robot is proposed. Human detection in an unmanned area can be done only by an automated system. Alive human body detection system proposed a monitoring system using ultrasonic sensors and camera to record, transmit and analyze conditions of human body. The task of identify human being in rescue operations is difficult for the robotic agent but it is simple for the human agent. In order to detect a human body, an autonomous robot must be equipped with a specific set of sensors that provide information about the presence of a person in the environment around. This work describes an autonomous robot for rescue operations. The proposed system uses an ultrasonic sensor in order to detect the existence of living humans and a low-cost camera in order to acquire a video of the scene as needed. Additional, other sensors include temperature, fire and metal detector works as bomb sensor to detect the presence of bomb in Warfield and in rescue operations. Having detected a sign of a living human, the ultrasonic sensor Triggers the camera to show live scene. The video is then displayed on the screen. This approach requires a relatively small number of data to be acquired and processed during the rescue operation. This way, the real-time cost of processing and data transmission is considerably reduced. This system has the potential to achieve high performance in detecting alive humans in devastated environments relatively quickly and cost-effectively. The detection depending on a number of factors such as the body position and the light intensity of the scene. Results show that the system provides an efficient way to track human motion. The aim of this article is to present our experience with various sensors designed and developed.
