Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Recent dramatic events such as the earthquakes in Haiti and L’Aquila or the flooding in Pakistan have shown that local civil authorities and emergency services have difficulties with adequately managing crises. The result is that these crises lead to major disruption of the whole local society. The goal of ICARUS is to decrease the total cost (both in human lives and in €) of a major crisis. In order to realise this goal, the ICARUS project proposes to equip first responders with a comprehensive and integrated set of unmanned search and rescue tools, to increase the situational awareness of human crisis managers and to assist search and rescue teams for dealing with the difficult and dangerous, but life-saving task of finding human survivors. As every crisis is different, it is impossible to provide one solution which fits all needs. Therefore, the ICARUS project will concentrate on developing components or building blocks that can be directly used by the crisis managers when arriving on the field. The ICARUS tools consist of assistive unmanned air, ground and sea vehicles, equipped with human detection sensors. The ICARUS unmanned vehicles are intended as the first explorers of the area, as well as in-situ supporters to act as safeguards to human personnel. The unmanned vehicles collaborate as a coordinated team, communicating via ad hoc cognitive radio networking. To ensure optimal human-robot collaboration, these ICARUS tools are seamlessly integrated into the C4I equipment of the human crisis managers and a set of training and support tools is provided to the human crisis to learn to use the ICARUS system. Furthermore, the project aims to provide an integrated proof-of-concept solution, to be evaluated by a board of expert end-users that can verify that operational needs are addressed.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Local authorities and emergency services often face the challenge of effectively managing catastrophic events such as earthquakes and tsunamis. An EU initiative is looking into crisis management solutions that will save more lives while reducing the cost of disasters.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Search and rescue (SAR) operations are extremely hazardous and complex, leading to the loss of life for both operators and the people they try to save. Existing unmanned SAR vehicles designed to assist crisis management personnel have had problems getting to people who are in distress or danger.
The EU-funded 'Integrated components for assisted rescue and unmanned search operations' (http://www.fp7-icarus.eu (ICARUS)) project is developing robotic tools that can support crisis intervention teams in the field.
ICARUS is focusing on the development of unmanned SAR technologies for finding and rescuing humans in both urban and maritime crisis situations. These devices will be able to navigate land, sea and air to locate survivors and contribute to the rescue operations. They will be equipped with sensors and provide real-time disaster information to their base stations.
To deal with the operational needs of rescue and civil protection actors, the project has defined end-user requirements through interviews and questionnaires by involving the global SAR community.
During the first two years of the project, the requirements were used to develop unmanned air, water and ground vehicles and tools like human victim detection sensors and intelligent communication systems. The interfaces that will link such tools have been elaborated.
Researchers are currently preparing earthquake and shipwreck simulations to put the SAR technologies into practice.
ICARUS is introducing technologies aimed at giving SAR personnel the option to deploy robots to survey an area and gather important data without risking their own lives. With the incidence of natural disasters on the rise, the project ultimately hopes to reduce the direct human and economic impact of their aftermath.
