Introduction:
Outdoor search and rescue missions face high risks, with 600 operations conducted annually in Hong Kong. The Agnostic Robotic Control System (ARCS) revolutionizes these operations with Centralized Mission Control for robot fleets, enabling faster, safer rescues. By combining AI exploration, multi-robot coordination, and long-range communication, it overcomes challenges posed by unmapped terrain and unreliable networks. First responders can deploy drones, robot dogs, and more — all synchronized — to cover vast areas efficiently, thereby reducing mission time.
Milestone:
2025-03-18 -User research
Through conducting interviews with potential users relating to search and rescue, the team has established contacts and has parties interested in the solution.
2025-03-25 -Prototype testing stage
With Fixposition VISION-RTK2, the robots will be able to navigate GPS degraded environments. This is crucial, as robots may not be able to receive a reliable GPS connection in forests and areas with dense tree cover. Along with ARC CORE, the team can conduct searches at the edge.
