The Jiuzhaigou earthquake may help these rescue robots

[Netease Smart News, August 9th] At 21:19 on August 8, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province (33.2 degrees north latitude and 103.82 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 20 kilometers. As of 9:30 a.m. on August 9, the earthquake killed 13 people and wounded more than 175 people.

Unfortunately, on August 09, at 07:27 in the vicinity of Jinghe County, Bortala Prefecture, Xinjiang Province (at 44.31 degrees north latitude and 82.89 degrees east longitude), a magnitude 6.6 earthquake occurred with a focal depth of 11 kilometers. At present, the rescue work is still carried out in an orderly and orderly manner. We hope that the number of casualties will not increase any more and pray for Sichuan and Xinjiang!

It is understood that the structure of the rubble after the earthquake was extremely unstable, in which rescue workers faced many dangers, and the post-earthquake rescue of nuclear-related and chemical-related facilities was even more deadly. At the same time, it was difficult for large-scale machinery and equipment to cross the ruins. Since it cannot be effectively rescued, the development of robots that can pass through complex and narrow spaces is an important direction in earthquake rescue research.

Netman Smart (smartman163) introduced five robots specially designed for earthquake rescue. We hope that they can enter the disaster area as soon as possible and they will all participate in the rescue!

1、Crawler rescue robot

The crawler robot can transport trapped people to a safe area. It was developed by the Metropolitan Police Department in Yokohama, Japan. It can withstand up to 110 kilograms of wounded. Because the robot only has a standard infrared camera installed, its search function is limited. , But its "Remote Control Arm" can safely transport trapped people out of the danger zone. It also has a built-in sensor that can detect whether the trapped person is injured or bleeding during transit.

2. Kinect Earthquake Rescue Robot

This is a robot for Earthquake Rescue developed by students of the University of Warwick, UK. Its special feature is that its main sensor is Kinect, not the commonly used laser radar. Compared to Kinect, Lidar is more expensive and inefficient (it can only display 2D planar images). The Kinect rangefinder can transmit three-dimensional image data, which can help rescue workers locate trapped people during an earthquake.

3, Quince rescue robot

Japan is an earthquake-prone country and has invested a lot of human and financial resources in earthquake rescue robots, among which the Quince robots are representative.

Quince is the size of a children's toy car, equipped with 4 sets of track wheels and 6 electric motors. Its robotic arm can open doors and deliver foods or other supplies. Quince is particularly good at its sensor devices. Its infrared sensors are also Carbon dioxide detectors, which detect human respiratory and body temperature conditions, can be used to explore signs of life in earthquakes.

According to reports, Quince played a significant role in the rescue work of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan in 2011. It has traveled several floors, conducted radiation and temperature tests, and it has also taken a deep look inside the nuclear reactor building to take a lot of clarity. Photo.

4, snake-shaped relief robot

The snake-like robot was developed by Satoshi Tadokoro, a well-known disaster relief robot researcher in Japan, and was mainly used to search trapped people. It was about 8 meters long and 2.5 centimeters wide. It was driven by a nylon rope equipped with a power plant. The speed is about 5 inches per second, but it can go deep into every corner of the ruins.

It is equipped with a pinhole camera, which can pass the captured image to rescue workers to help them understand the internal conditions of the affected area. It has helped the rescue team in a rescue accident in a parking lot collapse in Florida.

5. Rubble search and rescue deformable robot

This robot was developed by the Ruins Rescue Deformable Robot under the topic of “Round Search and Assisted Rescue Robots” in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” 863 Program Key Project “Rescue and Rescue Dangerous Operation Robot Technology”.

It can enter the interior of the ruins and use its own infrared camera and sound sensor to transmit the images and voice information inside the ruins back to the rear console in real time so that rescue workers can quickly determine the location of the survivors and the surrounding environment. At the same time, it can also provide rescue channel information for the implementation of rescue.

In the earthquake rescue operation of Lushan, Sichuan in April 2013, the Rugged Deformable Search and Rescue Robot and another robot life detector implemented a variety of typical environmental searches and investigations in the earthquake zone. Ten kilometers of walking achieved more than 20 ruins. Troubleshoot.
