SAVIOUR is a rescue robot system from Pakistan. SAVIOUR is an acronym for "Semi Autonomous Vehicle for Inpection, Observation and Ultimate Rescue". The robot is the first rescue robot to be produced in Pakistan[citation needed] and was designed and built by the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI) in Topi, Pakistan.
Design
SAVIOUR stands for Semi‐Autonomous Vehicle for Identification, Observation and Ultimate Rescue and is a search and rescue robot designed to detect survivors in emergency situations and is capable of traversing and mapping a complex and unknown terrain.
SAVIOUR was designed and built by a team led by Wardah Inam. The rest of the team was Muneeb Zia, Muhammad Fahd Waseem, Khwaja Umar Riaz, and Nasreen Shayeq. The robot completes its tasks using various sensors and is controlled via a wireless network for full remote mobility. The tasks[clarification needed] involve the location and mapping of ‘victims’ in a simulated earthquake hit ‘arena’.
Capabilities
SAVIOUR is highly maneuverable and avoids obstacles by utilising ultrasonic sensors whilst maneuvering through complex terrains and situations. It searches for survivors using the intelligent processing of motion, heat, shapes, sound and CO2 emissions data. The robot is also capable of mapping it local terrain with the aid of lasers and cameras which determine the position of the robot.[clarification needed]
Participation at RoboCups
- The SAVIOUR Robotics team participated in the RoboCup Iran Open 2010 held in Tehran. The team consisted of Muhammad Fahd Waseem, Muhammad Muneeb Saleem, Farrukh Sohail and Arsalan Khalid.[1]
- The SAVIOUR Robotics team participated in the RoboCup Internationals at Graz, Austria, in 2009. The team consisted of Wardah Inam, Muneeb Zia and Muhammad Fahd Waseem.[2]
