Abstract: In the case of emergency situations, robotic systems can play a key role and save human lives in recovery and evacuation operations. To realize such a potential, we have to address many scientific and technical challenges encountered during robotic search and rescue missions. This paper reviews current state-of-the-art robotic technologies that have been deployed in the simulation of crowd evacuation, including both macroscopic and microscopic models used in simulating a crowd. Existing work on crowd simulatio… Show more

“…In addition, although studies have separately examined evacuation from Tawaf (Mohamad et al, 2014) [32] or Sayee (Abdelghany et al, 2010) [34], there is no modelling developing combined Tawaf and Sayee evacuation scenarios. Our approach is to simulate the evacuation of groups of pilgrims from the GM at a more macroscopic level, by considering the group, instead of individual, as a moving unit (Sakour and Hu, 2017) [35]. Halabi (2006) [36] used the Space Syntax Laboratory to identify overcrowding hotspots and to show the spatial movements of the pilgrims during their evacuation from the Tawaf area of the Grand Mosque.…”

“…A similar idea is implemented by (Tang et al, 2016) where an algorithm was developed to help pedestrians find the best exit with the shortest escape time. However, current multirobot evacuation systems are only validated in simulation and lack detailed coordinated motion planning strategies and humanrobot interaction studies (Sakour and Hu, 2017). We are thus motivated to develop systematic methods of designing coordinated robot decision-making and motion planning in human crowded environments to achieve an efficient evacuation, investigate the human-robot interaction issues associated with evacuation through real human-robotic experimental studies, and evaluate the effectiveness of our theoretical and experimental results by creating a coordinated multi-robot evacuation system and field testing these systems.…”

“…While these methods utilise recent sensing and ICT technologies, they are inefficient for some situations where the affected area is large such as 2018 Japan floods. Recent studies and projects propose to use robots and ICT technologies to support victim search and rescue (SAR) in disasters, particularly when looking for affected people, gathering information and communication 10 . The first real use of robots took place during the response effort of the World Trade Centre attacks on September 11, 2001.…”
