Abstract

Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Management (EMERCOM of Russia, EMERCOM) devotes special attention to equipping subordinate units with advanced robotics. Despite this, EMERCOM of Russia lacks robotics complex capable of transporting special rescue equipment to emergency zone, bringing medicines to the wounded, and evacuating them to safe areas. This fact reduces efficiency and increases duration of emergency operations: if special vehicles are not able to reach the emergency zone, Russian EMERCOM employees will have to deliver rescue equipment and tools manually, and evacuate the wounded using stretchers on their own. This article proposes a concept of advanced robotics complex capable of carrying out the aforementioned tasks. We do not seek to provide full and detailed technical description of the whole complex. Only its composition, requirements, and peculiarities of power/communications systems, cargo delivery and safe evacuation mechanism, and possible electronic components shall be described.
