Abstract

In recent years, many researchers have shown interest in developing search and rescue systems composed of one or multiple robots. To enhance the robotic systems, wireless sensor networks and internet of things (IoT) were integrated to give more awareness of the environments. Additionally, data exchanged in social media during emergency situations can help rescuers, decision makers, and the public to gain insight into the situation as it unfolds. In the first part of this chapter, the authors present a review of robotic system and their environments in search and rescue systems. Additionally, they explain the challenges related to these systems and the tasks that a robot or a multi-robot system should execute to fulfil the search and rescue activities. As a second part, the authors expose the systems that integrates WSNs and IoT with robots and the advantages that brings those. Furthermore, they expose and discuss the remarkable research, the challenges, and the open research challenges that include this cooperation.
