Abstract |
Due to their sense of smell and ability to explore areas for missing people, dogs are valuable for search and rescue (SAR). Canines can discover humans under water, under snow, and even beneath crumbling structures because they can smell human scent. Building unmanned autonomous quadruped robots with canine agility is an attractive step to fully replicate the capabilities of dogs. Robots with legs are already capable of mimicking some of the physical traits of dogs, such as the capacity to traverse rough terrain. However, they would need to replicate also the level of sensory perception of a dog to successfully perform SAR operations. To achieve this, a navigation strategy that uses a direct sensor-motor coupling by following the principles of the Braitenberg vehicles is adopted in this work. This paper represents one of the first steps towards the connection of bio-inspired sensor-based steering mechanisms and bio-inspired locomotion for quadruped robots. |
