Abstract

Difficult access to disaster areas due to natural or human causes, prevents rescue personnel from organizing their entry to search for people and establish the current state of the infrastructure under review. During the preliminary inspection, people can alert the risk, and it is necessary to use technology to record and send relevant information for decision-making. This development allows the implementation of a robotic vehicle based on the Arduino platform, controlled from a smartphone through Bluetooth communication. In the first instance, DHT11 sensor measures temperature and humidity, and a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm moves objects during the path. The results indicate that the prototype reached to monitoring the temperature and humidity of the area, and its weight required the use of a dedicated battery for servomotors of the robotic arm
