Desarrollo de una plataforma robótica móvil para la búsqueda posterior a un sismo, y mitigación de incendios de baja escala.

Abstract

A mobile robotic platform was developed for further earthquake search ,and mitigation of smallscale fires .It accomplishes the requirements suggested by the public enterprise EMBA-EP to be

used in zone 3of Ecuador .By using the methodology of the V model, the mechanical, electricelectronic and the wireless controlling interphase for the robot operation were developed. In the

mechanical

system, it was designed and implemented a mobile platform with the adequate measures to allow the robot access homes together with a robotic arm in order to do fulfill tasks of mitigation of small–scale fires. In the electric-electronic system ,the electronic boards were designed which will allow to perform the movements of the platform and the robotic arm A direct controlling interphase was implemented with the actuators in real time .The supervision and monitoring system was implemented by means of two cameras on the robot which transmit the video to external monitors or mobile devices .There were performed field tests in the training center at public enterprise EMBA-EP to validate the functioning of the platform which results were satisfactory, the tests performed were certified by the enterprise .In short ,the mobile robotic platform can mitigate small-scale fires ,exceed objects 45% taller .The traction system allows it to move in different surfaces without reducing its speed significantly, it can even slide through 15deg.to 30deg .inclined ramps. It is recommended to implement resistant first-aid kid containers to be delivered to victims.
