abstract = {Rescue workers and fire fighters’ job mostly require entering to disaster zones such as factories 
accident  areas,  collapsed  mines,  or  burned  buildings  to  perform  rescue  operations.  In  addition  to  human 
caused disasters, the aftermath of natural disasters such as tornados, earthquakes and tsunamis requires them 
to be present in order to contain the disaster, help injured victims, and guide trapped victims to a safe exit. 
The lives of the rescue workers and fire fighter are always at risk in such accidents, since they have no prior 
knowledge  of  accident  source,  environment,  and  location.  Thereby,  Search  and  Rescue  Robot  (SRR)  is  an 
excellent  alternative,  in  which  it  can  perform  certain  tasks  of  rescue  workers  and  fire  fighters  without 
endangering  their  life.  In  a  case  of  disaster,  SRR  can  be  sent  directly  to  the  danger  zones  to  navigate  and 
provide  helpful  information  regarding  the  cause  of  the  accident,  location  of  the  hazard  spots,  number  of 
trapped or injured victims, the conditions inside the danger zone, and several other functions. The use of SRR 
will  improve  the  quality  of  rescue  missions  because  it  can  provide  important  data  from  the  heart  of  the 
accident where it is too risky for human to go in. In addition, it can identify the number and the status of the 
trapped victims and even supply basic equipment, which in some cases can be lifesaving, such as masks and 
fire blankets in accident which include fires. In this project we designed and fabricated a prototype of search 
and  rescue  robot  that  can  perform  multiple  tasks  and  can  navigate  in  rough  surfaces.  The  SRR  can  be 
controlled  from  a  distance  station  where  the  operator  can  manipulate  the  SRR  movement  and  its  grapping 
arm while monitoring the surrounding environment using video camera and different sensors. The fabricated 
prototype successfully passed all the tests that was set to examine its performance.
