    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Björn Reiner; Marcus Svensson; [2016]
    Keywords : robot; search and rescue; robust; sensors; simple; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Robots currently exist that are specifically designed for use in the wake of disasters to help rescue teams in their work of locating and rescuing individuals trapped in confined spaces. However, they are prohibitively expensive which limits their adoption and causes the operators to think twice before they're deploying a robot with the risk of losing or damaging it. READ MORE

  3. 7. Stabilization of a thermal camera at sea

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Martin Stanic; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : During, for example, search-and-rescue operations at sea, technical equipment like spotlights and thermal cameras are important aids. However, heave and sway affect the ship and make it harder for finding a person in distress. This thesis presents a way of stabilizing a thermal camera by controlling a stepper motor connected to it.
