- Development of an Unmanned Capsule for large-scale maritime search and rescuePublication . Matos, Aníbal; Silva, Eduardo; Cruz, Nuno; Alves, José Carlos; Almeida, Duarte Rafael; Pinto, Miguel Armando; Martins, Alfredo; Almeida, José Miguel; Machado, Diogo CabralThis paper describes the development and testing of a robotic capsule for search and rescue operations at sea. This capsule is able to operate autonomously or remotely controlled, is transported and deployed by a larger USV into a determined disaster area and is used to carry a life raft and inflate it close to survivors in large-scale maritime disasters. The ultimate goal of this development is to endow search and rescue teams with tools that extend their operational capability in scenarios with adverse atmospheric or maritime conditions.
