Micro Hopping Robots for Rescue Operation: Many Tiny Robots with a Single Sensor and Launcher System

Abstract

This reports research on producing cheap (<$10) micro robots for locating victims within collapsed buildings. The approach is to use many small robots that search downward (using gravity, rather than a power source) as the best means of locating victims.
