The Search and Rescue Robot Challenge and Conference is a chance to bring students from around the world together to compete in creating an autonomous robot to help first responders (Fire, Emergency, Police) find survivors of disasters natural or otherwise. Our belief is it will be this generation of students who will take artificial intelligence and robotics into the world of emergency services. Finding new ways to help first responders react more quickly to disasters. To in a sense create the robotic search and rescue dog who will bravely travel with and support our human heroes. |
