Design of a novel disaster control vehicle for combined deployment scenarios

Topic and Goal of the Thesis

Disasters, whether natural or man-made, often pose life-threatening situations for the affected population and emergency services. In view of the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and potential man-made crises, innovative solutions are needed in the field of disaster control. UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) support rescue workers but are usually highly specialised for a specific task. The aim of this work is to identify an innovative, modular, multi-terrain-capable disaster control vehicle for combined deployment scenarios.

Working Points

• Research on the current state of the art of UGVs and UAVs in the field of disaster control.
• Analysis of various deployment scenarios and derivation of suitable combinations.
• Design of a vehicle concept for the combined deployment scenario.
• Documentation of the results in written form.Implementation of the proposed techniques in python

Requirements

• Good English or German language skills
• Reliability, commitment and enjoyment of working independently
