Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water rescue equipment, and in particular to a water rescue robot system and method with unmanned aerial vehicle mapping assistance. Background Art
[0002] Water rescue operations have always been an important part of the rescue field. Their complexity and variability have placed extremely high demands on rescue equipment and technology. Traditional water rescue methods mainly rely on manpower and simple mechanical equipment, such as lifeboats and lifebuoys. These methods often seem to be inadequate in the face of complex water environments and changeable weather conditions, with low rescue efficiency and certain safety risks.
[0003] With the development of science and technology, water rescue robots have gradually become the new favorite in this field. In the prior art, there have been many types of water rescue robots, which can replace manpower to a certain extent and perform more complex and dangerous rescue tasks. These robots usually have basic mobility and navigation functions, and can go to the rescue area according to preset routes or instructions to perform rescue operations such as dragging and salvaging.
[0004] However, despite the progress made in the water rescue robots in the prior art, there are still some obvious problems and limitations. For example, most water rescue robots lack the ability to perceive environmental changes in real time and cannot dynamically adjust the rescue path and strategy according to the actual environmental information of the rescue area. As a result, during the actual rescue process, the robot may encounter unforeseen obstacles or dangerous situations, which will affect the rescue efficiency or even lead to rescue failure.
[0005] In addition, the existing water rescue robots also have deficiencies in the coordinated operations with other rescue equipment or systems. In actual rescue operations, multiple rescue equipment and systems are often required to cooperate with each other to achieve the best rescue effect. However, due to technical limitations and communication barriers, existing water rescue robots often find it difficult to effectively share information and coordinate operations with other rescue equipment or systems, which limits the overall effectiveness of rescue operations.
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, researchers at home and abroad have conducted a lot of research and exploration. For example, CN215043563U discloses a water rescue robot, including a machine body, a power supply system and a core controller, the core controller is electrically connected to a sensor system and an execution system respectively, the sensor system includes a visual module and a navigation and positioning module, the execution system includes a motor drive device and a lifebuoy lock plate, and the sensor system also includes an obstacle avoidance module. The water rescue robot can realize fast and accurate detection of the drowning person and obtain the position, perform the fastest path planning and identify obstacles along the way, quickly reach the drowning person, rotate the mechanical structure, and the lifebuoy falls to achieve rescue. It also has a remote control mode and automatic alarm function to improve the success rate of rescue. The power of the robot is provided by a solar power supply system, which is green and environmentally friendly; the robot can capture image information of the rescue area through a camera, and perform simple image processing and analysis to assist rescue operations; however, the technical solution of this patent still has certain limitations, such as the machine vision system is highly dependent on ambient light conditions and is easily disturbed and affected in complex water environments.
[0007] In summary, the water rescue robots in the prior art still have obvious deficiencies and limitations in real-time environmental perception, path planning, coordinated operations, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more advanced and efficient water rescue robot system to overcome the defects of the prior art and improve the efficiency and success rate of rescue operations.
