Abstract/Summary

A remote controlled robot that can traverse on land and water with human detection for flood search operation has been made to aid rescuers and volunteers in conducting search operations. The robot can traverse on water and different types of terrain, namely wooden floor, cement, rocks and mud. It can handle an additional load of less than 8lbs and a water current of 0.3864 m/s. It can be controlled of up to a distance of 290m line-of-sight. It can also transmit video feed of up to a distance of 380m line-of-sight. The human detection algorithm achieved an accuracy of 93.6% in terms of detecting unique ROI for every set of 15 frames.
