Marsupial Delivery of a Toughbot by a Talon robot Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 136 seconds Filmed at the first NIST/DHS robot evaluation exercise at "Disaster City" Texas in 2006. The Talon carries a Toughbot and drops it into a hole in a roof. The Toughbot was broken but we set it up to show the utility of marsupial delivery of robots in usar environments.

AirRobot in flight Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 144 seconds AirRobot is a small quad-rotor UAV that can be employed for USAR reconnaissance. It has good loiter time, is simple to operate and is highly versatile. It can carry a number of sensors but probably has immediate application in providing a stable bird's eye view of an incident site. video taken during the 2007 NIST/DHS Response Robot evaluation exercise at Disaster City, Texas Related: and, city, disaster, ferworn, ncart, rescue, response, robots, ryerson, search, us&r, usar |

Andros Robot attempting to remove rebar from rubble pile Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 214 seconds An Andros robot with a proficient operator was tasked to remove a piece of rebar placed in rubble. The operator had both line of sight views and camera views yet the task was still very difficult to complete.

Dragon Runner Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 123 seconds This small, tossable, wireless and man-packable robot is in extensive use by U.S. Forces for activities like under-vehicle inspection and local surveillance. The device has applicability in USAR environments where human entry may be precluded and rubble is light. This could mean the periphery of a collapse or perhaps being thrown into an upper story for further inspection of the structure.

Eyeball surveillance robot throw Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 169 seconds The Eyeball is a self-righting, throwable, spinning camera system initially intended for special operations but with application in USAR. It is tough, weighs about the same as a baseball and is easy to deploy. The device should probably receive a coat of florescent paint before deployment or you may not find it again.

Canine Augmentation Technology - Trial 8 - Rubble Search Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 141 seconds The Canine Augmentation Technology (CAT) project is a joint undertaking between the N-CART lab in Ryerson Unversity and the PERT team of the Ontario Provincial Police. In this trial we test a head-mounted audio-video system on the USAR canine Dare. This prototype was eventually abandoned but you will see the idea has merit.

Wasp UAV in flight and landing Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 29 seconds The Wasp UAV is notable in that it is very small in size, offers good loiter time and cameras and can be rolled up and stored in a can as its wings bend. This video was taken at the 2006 NIST/DHS Response Robot Evaluation Exercise. The crash landing against the safety fence was not planned but it was interesting.

Canine Remote Deployment System Mark I Posted by: aferworn
Video duration: 148 seconds The Canine Remote Deployment System (CRDS) is a dog-mounted remote delivery system for USAR canines. The CRDS is loaded with a pack...called an "underdog"...for delivery to a casualty trapped in rubble who cannot be reached by human responders.
