Earthquakes, fire, and floods often cause structural collapses of buildings. However, the inspection of such damaged buildings poses a high risk for emergency forces or is even impossible. We present three recently selected missions of the Robotics Task Force of the German Rescue Robotics Center (DRZ), where both ground and aerial robots were used to explore destroyed buildings. We describe and reflect the missions as well as the lessons learned that have resulted from them. To make robots from research laboratories fit for real operations, realistic outdoor and indoor test environments were set up at the DRZ and used for tests in regular exercises by researchers and emergency forces. On the basis of this experience, the robots and their control software were significantly improved. Furthermore, expert teams of researchers and first responders were formed, each with realistic assessments of the operational and practical suitability of robotic systems.

德国救援机器人中心工作组机器人辅助灾难响应部署的经验教训

地震、火灾和洪水经常导致建筑物的结构倒塌。然而，对此类受损建筑物进行检查对应急部队来说存在很高的风险，甚至是不可能的。我们介绍了德国救援机器人中心 (DRZ) 机器人特遣队最近选定的三个任务，其中地面和空中机器人都被用来探索被毁坏的建筑物。我们描述并反映了这些任务以及从中吸取的教训。为了使研究实验室的机器人适合实际操作，DRZ 建立了真实的室外和室内测试环境，并用于研究人员和应急部队的定期演习中的测试。在此经验的基础上，机器人及其控制软件得到了显着改进。此外，还成立了由研究人员和急救人员组成的专家团队，每个团队都对机器人系统的操作和实际适用性进行了现实评估。
