ABSTRACT

During rescue operations in case of armed conflicts in cities , terrorist attacks and public health emergencies , rescuers are always in danger .For this reason, search for and rescue robots have been used to search and evacuate the wounded .They have also become a hot issue in current robotics technology research ,promising a wide range of applications in civilian and military fields .This paper outlines the origin of rescue robot research ,course of development and classifica-tion, focuses on the developments of and future research of the U .S army on evacuation and rescue robots ,and finally pres-ents the problems and key technical difficulties facing the development of such robots .This paper is interded to improve re-search methods and design theories of rescue robotics .
