In this paper we propose the development of a rapidly manufactured search and rescue unmanned ground vehicle prototype capable of traveling on uneven terrain, debris, and inclined planes through a semi-autonomous system that can detect and evaluate the state of a victim who is in danger among the rubble of a collapsed structure.
The development of a rapidly manufactured unmanned ground vehicle must not only have maneuverability capabilities in difficult access. Also, obtain information about the physical environment to locate victims through sensors. Being able to identify the orientation of movement within the field, detect the presence of heat, perceive motion in confined spaces, determine the presence of toxic gases, such as high levels of carbon dioxide; communicate with a victim through a microphone and speaker, and be able to respond in case of finding a person alive. The mobile robot must carry out search and rescue missions and objectives similar to those completed by an industrialized robot.
