An Embedded Autonomous Robotic System for Alive Human Body Detection and Rescue Operation
Abstract
The paper proposes a new approach for detecting alive human beings in devastating environments using a low cost autonomous robot. The proposed alive Human Body Detection System uses a specific set of sensors that gives information about the presence of an alive human body and a low quality camera to acquire a video of scene of the environment. Having detected an obstacle or alive human body, the set of sensors trigger the camera to show live scene. The video is then displayed on a PC or a laptop at base station and processed at MATLAB for further analysis. The alive human detection system proposed in this paper is highly reliable as it is using a set of sensors for detection.

Conclusion
The purpose of the proposed An Embedded Autonomous Robotic System for Alive Human Body Detection and Rescue Operation system is to provide a cost effective robot for rescuing human beings in catastrophic conditions. The proposed system is superior to other existing robots due to the use of sensors that are cheaper and easily available. It is not feasible for rescue personnel to individually visit the site (war field, earthquake-stricken area, mines etc) and check who is alive and who needs rescue. So, in such circumstances, the proposed system can be of great importance. The video is then displayed on a PC or a laptop at base station and processed. The alive proposed in this paper is highly reliable as it is using a set of sensors for detection.
