Our research into robot search teams is conducted primarily in the domain of Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), characterised by collapsed man-made structures. This terrain is often treacherous, requiring the robots to have sufficient navigational sensors in addition to their mission sensors and for rescuers wearing protective garments, and barrier materials to protect themselves while equipped with essential devices and sensors.
