Abstract

An overview is given on the exploitation of arm and leg integrated robots and basic experiments with an infrared probing sensor in the application of rescue tasks. Assuming mounting of the sensor on the tip of a limb of a robot for probing, a probing method to find quickly and locate precisely a survivor is proposed. The method uses a wide range infrared sensor and a narrow range infrared sensor to find survivors.
