Brief abstract: Rescuers have lost their lives in events requiring them to go into dangerous areas that have unstable structures, gases and environments. Robots are necessary for search and rescue purposes, to access concealed places and environments that fire fighters and rescue personnel cannot gain entry to. The contractible arms elevating search and rescue (CAESAR) robot was designed and developed to assist rescuers in urban search and rescue (USAR) scenarios. For the performance and reliability required in locating victims, different systems are integrated and used.
