Abstract

In recent years, many major natural disasters have occurred in the world, and among these major natural disasters, earthquakes are the most destructive. In the post-earthquake disaster areas, there are many ruins, which will reduce the efficiency of search and rescue and increase the risk of search and rescue. Some of the ruins were inaccessible to people, and it was difficult for search-and-rescue personnel to determine whether there were survivors. In order to improve the efficiency of search and rescue, reduce the risk of search and rescue, and reduce the investment of search-and-rescue personnel, micro search-and-rescue robots are designed. A variety of sensors are installed on the micro search-and-rescue robot for efficient search and rescue, a communication system is installed for data transmission, and a motor system is installed to overcome obstacles. This paper also discusses possible problems and proposes corresponding solutions. However, limited by existing technologies, some problems cannot be completely solved. In the future, the investment of micro search-and-rescue robots will save more lives.
