    The document outlines the development of a robot called Rubble Bot to assist with search and rescue efforts following building collapses or other debris-causing disasters. Rubble Bot will be able to maneuver through rubble and tight spaces using treads, and provide camera footage and alerts to rescuers. It will drive randomly into debris and change direction when it encounters obstacles, activating lights and sounds if it detects a trapped person. The design incorporates treads, omnidirectional wheels, cameras, lights, and will transmit images and video to rescuers operating it remotely.

    Deliverable 1 | Selected Opportunity (Theme)

    MECHATRONIC EMERGENCY
    RESPONSE!

    Designing a safe, efficient, and cost-effective “device”


    that optimizes emergency response procedures.
    Deliverable 2 | Condensed Weighted Matrix
    Deliverable 3 | Short Problem Description | Rubble Robot

    ● Building a robot that can maneuver through terrain with high amounts of
    debris, small passageways, and/or undergoing seismic activity.
    ● Natural disasters occur when we least expect them, earthquakes are no
    exception.
    ● When buildings collapse, innocent people get trapped underneath, or when a
    mine crumbles workers find themselves confined in underground chambers.
    ● Why work on this device? Because being trapped under/behind debris
    creates a seemingly hopeless situation. We want to help minimize time delays
    of search and sponsor rescue efforts, as well as establish communication
    channels between victims and first responders.
    ● This product is for critical search & rescue purposes
    Deliverable 3 | Existing Devices Include...

    Howie Choset’s remote-controlled bot sports


    more than a dozen joints, allowing it to crawl
    and climb through debris that first
    responders and animal assistants can't
    navigate.

    A “head”-mounted camera, LED lights and


    distance-measuring laser technology allow
    rescue personnel to shepherd the snake
    through rubble while it transmits video back
    to a remote crew.

    Deliverable 4 | Strategy of Rubble Bot
    ● Rubble Bot will drive in rubble or rugged terrain using treads and feedback
    to the user via camera images and alarm with lights and sound when it
    detects someone.
    ● Rubble Bot will be placed by the user and will randomly drive into the
    rubble, changing it’s direction if it runs into obstacles.
    ● If the user sees an image from the Bot, he or she can put it in alarm mode
    to help rescuers locate where the Bot is, or if implemented (time permitting)
    the Bot can use IR to detect heat signatures and automatically signal to the
    emergency response
    Deliverable 5 | Component Sketch
    ● Tank link treads that allow it to navigate
    rough terrain
    ● Omnidirectional wheels to account for the
    “nonlinearity” of various terrain
    ● Camera and alert sensors. We envision
    two lights that can be remote activated if
    the area has no natural/artificial light
    ● We want the robot to be able to alert
    when it reaches a person as well as have
    it navigate over debris
    ● We want it to feedback camera
    images/video footage to the rescue crew
    operating it
