ICARUS FP7 Project - Unmanned Search and Rescuing, Autonomous Systems Lab, Zurich, Switzerland

ICARUS is a research project funded by the European Commission (total budget: 17.5M€) to develop robotic tools which can assist "human" Search and Rescue (SAR) teams in the field.
24 partners will collaborate during 4 years (starting from 2012) to develop the best solutions Europe can offer to save human lives and to speed up the SAR process. ICARUS concentrates on the development of unmanned SAR technologies for detecting, locating and rescuing humans in disaster situations both in urban and maritime environments. These unmanned platforms are able to proceed through land, sea and air to locate survivors and participate to the rescue operations.

During field trials organized within the framework of the ICARUS FP7 Project, the ASL team presented the capabilities of the AtlantikSolar platform and collaborated with other ICARUS partners. This video presents a very short summary of our main activities during the field-trials demonstration that took place between 21st to 25th of July 2014, in the CTC UAV Test Site which is located in the Collsuspina area around Barcelona.
