Abstract:
We propose a search-and-rescue information assistance system that consists of an intelligent data carrier for rescue (IDC-R) and a data retrieval blimp (DRB). The IDC provides the environment with information storage, sensing, and processing. We incorporated auditory functionality into IDCs and used them to support search-and-rescue. IDC-Rs in buildings repeatedly call to victims and record their answers independently. A DRB flies over a disaster area and communicates with IDC-Rs to activate them and to obtain data. We have implemented actual devices and describe a feasible motion planning algorithm for a DRB.
