Search and Rescue

Coordination Between Quadcopter and Rover

Parties

Since 2009 this project has been an ongoing collaboration between Saab Dynamics and Linköping University in various alterations during the years.

Task

To locate persons in distress autonomously with limited resources in a challenging environment by implementing a joint system consisting of a Rover and a Quadcopter communicating via ROS.

Solution

Our solution is a system capable of finding numerous people in distress autonomously. The Rover explores the open terrain and sends the Quadcopter to scan the inaccessible areas. The Quadcopter is expensive to use and should therefore be used sparsely. All communications is through ROS.

Group members

Every group member had a role with accompanying responsibilities. The group was also divided into two teams, one dealing mostly with the Rover and the other focusing on the Quadcopter.
