Research on the control station system for a shape-shifting search and rescue robot

In conformity with the request for search and rescue application, the design criterions of human-robot interaction are proposed. Based on the human-robot interaction, the control station system for the shape-shifting search and rescue robot is designed. The system mainly has four features, which are completely perceptive information, flexible control, friendly interface and strong interaction. The experiments demonstrate that the control station system for search and rescue robots can control motion and exchange the multi-channel information in the complex simulated after-earthquake environment. Thus, feasibility and validity of the control station system have been proved in the fields of search and rescue.
