A Multipurpose Robotic Vehicle for the Rescue of Persons and Interventions in Emergency Situations

Abstract

At present, multipurpose robotic vehicles represent the best possible solution for the rescue and transport of persons in a state of traumafrom places in difficult-to-access terrain, in poor weather conditions and in emergency situations. It is a case of complementary means supplementingthe equipment for rescue and emergency response that already exists or is being developed on the basis of a concept drawn in theframework of Integrated Emergency System of the Czech Republic. As a multipurpose means, the vehicle can be used for unmanned remoteinvestigations into situations, for unmanned rescue and materials transport. Simultaneously, a modification to vehicles for places accessiblemerely by rail is designed.
