Abstract
This study consists of the development a remotely operated vehicle to help search and rescue teams to access difficult or dangerous areas to rescue victims of earthquakes, landslides, floods and other disasters and accidents. A review of the scientific literature as an evaluation of key disasters such as landslides, floods and structure collapses was made in attempt to define the requirements of the terrains the prototype would have to fulfill. This review also showed a variety of robots in different applications, each one with its singularity and for specific purposes. The scientific review revealed that a robot which could move sand, gravel, grass, mud, swamps, snow and flooded terrains, being able to minimally drill in order to reach trapped victims was not yet developed. The choice was to build a screw-propelled robot with efficient locomotion on numerous surfaces, including water, based on 1963 Chrysler’s Marsh Screw Amphibian, propelled by screws as the 1963 vehicle (NEUMEYER, 1963).
