  Finally, I’m pretty close to my original design. Both the mechanism part and the behavior almost finish.

 The robot could traveled around the room and then following the light attracting signal to reach the target, after pick up the subject, it will try to search the other positon to place the target? which is also identified with a flash light (Sounds strange~~=.=b)

Find out that the most important and most difficult part is the sensor design. The problem is, you might not have too much money to buy a more accurate and more sensitive sensor. Or else, normal light, force and position sensors don’t fit into the special requirement.

In the following picture, my CDS cells array is put on a relatively high platform rather than the bottom platform. The opening of the tube that cover each CDS cell is designed in a shape as a HORN, then the detecting scope will overlap with each other and the working space is now continuous.

I think to re-consider the original demand of my robot is very important, I find out that the obtained IR picture could be also very dependent on the exposure time, as well as ordinary visible light picture, and some of the picture they showed on Web is under the illumination from the IR emitter that has been set on the camera, and another thing I’m not sure, the visible light could not be completely filtered with a sheet of film-negative in my camera. I will do an experiment on a camera (not Webcam) with good CMOS sensor to obtain passive IR picture.

Demo in Dark Room:

Another very thing need to be improve, I should use TANK TRACK rather than wheel to support a rescue machine’s platform. I don’t have time to improve much in this aspect?/i>

 

 

Lots of excellent Rescue Robot around the worldearthquake rescue robot

T-52 Enryu, the snow rescue robot 

A giant rescue robot with “feet?like a bulldozer and arms 5 meters in length is undergoing practical testing at Nagaoka University of Technology (Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture). Designed for avalanche disaster relief and snow removal operations, the robot ?known as T-52 Enryu (lit. ?span class=GramE>rescue dragon? ?is being developed by tmsuk, a Kitakyushu-based robot manufacturer. T-52 Enryu stands 3.45 meters tall and weighs 5 tons.
