This paper introduced to develop and implementation of PC based controller for humanoid robot using digital potentiometer. The main objective in this paper is to develop and implement the joystick controller by using a digital potentiometer circuit board that be able to control the humanoid robot movement. The Arduino board and digital potentiometer will be integrated by connecting both pins in between wiper, W pin and ground, GND to the DB9 pins of remote control platform, which is TX and RX pins respectively. Humanoid robot as known as TOMY i-SOBOT is used as a preferred model due to wide usage in many applications. A digital potentiometer will be transmitted the voltage and current value depend on the digital level through serial communication to give the instruction for humanoid robot movement. The humanoid movement based on Guided User Interface (GUI) where the user give a commands by pressing the button on the GUI such as turn left, right, forward, and reverse. The results show that the humanoid movement able to control based on the voltage and current in a digital potentiometers value.

“…Recent research work has been conducted on remote interfacing and easy control of robots. 10 Taking one step further, in Doroodgar et al, 11 a semi-autonomous robot architecture in rescue tasks is proposed. The USAR robot is able to learn and make decisions whether autonomous or human control should be used to perform the tasks in a quicker and more efficient manner, considering the minimization of stress and burden placed on the operator.…”

Fostering human–robot cooperative architectures for search and rescue missions in urban fires

Urban fires are probably the most frequent catastrophic incidents in urban areas, requiring a prompt response due to life endangerment in highly populated zones and the high risk of fire propagation to buildings and parked cars in the vicinity. Robot assistance has been identified as a valuable resource for such urban search and rescue (USAR) scenarios by taking advantage of robots’ expendability. However, it is still unclear or not quantified how advantageous such human–robot cooperation can be to the final outcome of firefighting operations and other USAR missions. This article reports research in this context by modeling key features of a firefighting mission in response to an urban fire in a large basement garage. Besides building a behavioral model of human firefighting teams based on interviews with a Portuguese Fire Department, and assessing their performance under different circumstances, this work studies the addition of robotic teams in cooperation with human firefighters to overcome communication issues and improve situation awareness. The results obtained highlight the importance of such human–robot partnership for a more effective response to an urban fire and mitigation of life endangerment of first responders and victims.

“…Constructing communication infrastructures in disaster environments to enable communications even in closed spaces can be said to be essential for firefighting activities along with the safety of firefighters who perform rescue missions. Therefore, disaster prevention and safety related information communication solutions for firefighting and search and rescue of those who should be rescued in disaster and extreme situations fire scenes and collapse sites have been studied by several researchers [2,3].

When an earthquake or a large fire has occurred, it is difficult to secure communication networks for rescue in the building due to the destruction of commercial communication networks. Although analog radio systems such as VHF (very high frequency) and UHF (ultra-high frequency) are used for rescue operation in general, communication failure occurs in closed spaces, causing difficulties in smooth rescue operations. When the communication infrastructures have been destroyed in a building in the disaster, an emergency wireless telecommunication environment should be constructed to secure a safer disaster response environment. In this study, along with comparison of the performances of diverse communication frequencies, UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) wireless telecommunication networks were evaluated under five building indoor environment conditions including open spaces. UWB communication modules were fabricated to satisfy the IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.15.4a standard performance to measure distances in which communications are possible according to the indoor environment for each of six channels with different UWB communication frequencies. The results indicated that the distances in which communications are possible for each the six channels were average 15.5 m, maximum 20 m in open spaces; average 17.33 m, maximum 20 m in corridors; average 15.3 m, maximum 20 m in indoor office environments with office fixtures; average 4.33 m, maximum 6 m in vertical spaces of stairs; and average 6.5 m, maximum 17 m in closed horizontal spaces with a fire door. In this case, the communication performance and distance performance were shown to be the most excellent at a frequency (Centre Frequency) of 6489.6 and a band of 5980.3 – 6998.9 MHz, which is UWB 7ch. In conclusion, it is judged that if UWB communication modules are installed in the disaster area at intervals of 20 m and multi-channels are used, communication environments can be constructed even in closed spaces
