            Abstract : 
Mobile robots are integrated into a search and rescue team as tools for searching victims in dangerous areas that is harmful for human, as to provide the perception data for map building, and as to follow the human entity during the mission. The teleoperated control and the autonomous path following is implemented on the robots for the semiautonomous navigation in the simulated firing scenario. This paper focuses on the robot entities in the PeLoTe project (building presence through localization for hybrid telematic teams). The architecture of the software integration for mobile robots into the PeLoTe system and the experimental results are presented.
