Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a 17 DOF humanoid robot for rescue and disaster management operations. This innovative robot is equipped with 17 DOF (Degrees of Freedom), providing it with flexibility to replicate various human movements and capable of navigating challenging terrains, performing search-and-rescue missions, and assisting emergency responders in hazardous environments. The robot integrates advanced mobility, dexterity, and sensory perception, enabling it to operate in unpredictable conditions. The mechanical framework, actuation system, and sensory fusion mechanisms are optimized to enhance adaptability in complex locations and ensure stability during movement. The control system employs a hierarchical approach, combining low-level PID controllers with AI-driven high-level decision-making for autonomous and semi-autonomous operations. Sensor integration includes LiDAR, Ultrasonic sensors, inertial measurement units (IMUs), thermal cameras, and force/torque sensors, providing the robot with enhanced perception for navigation and victim detection.A hybrid control model allows autonomous operation while enabling remote human intervention when necessary, improving efficiency in dynamic and high-risk situations.
