Abstract

This paper presents the designing of rescue robot system with the focus on implementing low cost prototype using the lightweight PIR sensor for the detection of humans in the disasters (man-made as well as natural). This research serves as proof-of concept for human search in catastrophe using pyrometric sensor with the high accuracy rate of detection. The wireless sensor network also helps to track the location of the robot by analyzing signal strength. Design and development of the network and the physical robot prototype are described in this paper.
