Final Year Project

Project Title

Autonomous Disaster Drones for Pre-Rescue Mapping of Interior Environments

Description

Kalso locating any potential survivors. The map can be used by first responders to better plan the rescue. SLAM is used for localization and mapping. The project is being developed using Robot Operating System (ROS) and is simulated on Gazebo. A proof-of-concept hardware prototype will be implemented on either Parrot Mamo Minidrone or an F450 Pixhawkdrone. The project aims to make autonomous drones that are capable of mapping indoor environments for disaster scenarios while also locating any potential survivors. The map can be used by first responders to better plan the rescue.
