Emergency Retrieval System

Our Goal:

As engineers, we are taught to always focus on the primary goal of our project. In this case, our goal is to save as many lives as possible from a hypothetical disaster. The robots we create must first be able to navigate through buildings and evacuate large groups of people, and be able to locate and evacuate others unable to leave with the larger groups.

Robotics and Computer Science

Throughout the project, our team was enlightened to the huge link between robotics and computer science. Robotics is purely the design, construction, operation, and application of robots in assisting humans in the world. Computer science is the study of computation and automation, making the study related to the artificial intellegence of robots But the computer science associated with the robot's AI is promising for the future of humanity. At this point, most robots are controlled by a human to complete certain tasks, but when sensor fusion is applied with the right thought processes, robots have the potential to carry out tasks with the same ingenuity and efficiency as humans. It is the usage of computer science that helps make robots autonomous.
