SKATES: Interoperable Multi-Connectivity Communication Module for Reliable Search and Rescue Robot Operation
Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob) , Thessaloniki, Greece, October 2020 Abstract: Robots are used more and more often in search and rescue scenarios, for example in post-disaster situations [...] high-resolution images, video and sensor-readings producing huge data volume must be transported from the robot back to the operator or rescue forces. This work presents and evaluates SKATES, a new solution enabling [...] enabling interoperable multi-connectivity for reliable communication between a search and rescue (SAR) robot and its remote operator. In this paper, the SKATES concept, its implementation and subsequent validation …
