Vision and Chemi-resistor equipped Web-connected finding Robots

Project: Research

Project Details

Goal of the project

In the event of an emergency due to a fire or other crisis it is time consuming to establish whether the ground can be entered safely by human beings. The VIEW-FINDER project seeks to develop and utilise robots and an advanced base station for inspection and in-situ data gathering.

Role of the organisation

RMA co-develops robots that will be equipped with onboard TV/IR cameras, LADAR and other sensors to enhance scene reconstruction, as well as a wide array of chemical sensors.

Funding acknowledgement

The View-Finder project was funded through the EU-FP6 project grant number 045541 in Advanced Robotics (IST-2005-2.6.1).
