The coordination of multi-robot arduino for searching victims under collapsed building / Mohamad Aliff Farhan Muhamad Saufi

Each and every year humankind encounters unforeseeable scales of catastrophic events which under the circumstances, victims are being trapped under the rubbles following three or four days either in conscious or unconscious state. Given the high demand for an autonomous machine to deal with search operations efficiently, the paper aims to design autonomous multi-robot able to collaborate with each other in operating human victim searching under collapsed building. The robot prototype is equipped with Arduino Uno as the microcontroller, which is a very low cost alternative compared to the current expensive microcontroller. The prototypes only utilize Ultrasonic sensor to detect human victim due to the cost limitation, PIR sensor, which is the best sensor to detect human presence cannot be utilized. The proposed paper also involves the design of algorithm for communication between the two robot prototypes when operating searching task.
