“…Overall, it is more efficient and scalable to repurpose existing technologies than invent new ones during a pandemic/crisis. 75 To promote this approach, governments should encourage companies and research groups to explore the potential applications of existing technology/products. Moreover, governments should invest money to do technical reserves in nonpandemic/crisis periods so that these technologies can be commercialized as helpful products during future pandemics/crisis periods.…”

Many countries have enacted a quick response to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic by utilizing existing technologies. For example, robotics, artificial intelligence, and digital technology have been deployed in hospitals and public areas for maintaining social distancing, reducing person-to-person contact, enabling rapid diagnosis, tracking virus spread, and providing sanitation. In this paper, 163 news articles and scientific reports on COVID-19-related technology adoption were screened, shortlisted, categorized by application scenario, and reviewed for functionality. Technologies related to robots, artificial intelligence, and digital technology were selected from the pool of candidates, yielding a total of 50 applications for review. Each case was analyzed for its engineering characteristics and potential impact on the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, challenges and future directions regarding the response to this pandemic and future pandemics were summarized and discussed.

“…Bu sensörler arasında lazer tarama cihazları, kızılötesi kameralar ve termal görüntüleme sistemleri bulunur. Bu sensörler, robotların çevresindeki enkazda veya yapıda bulunan insanların konumunu tespit etmelerine yardımcı olabilir (Lin, Huang, ve Putranto, 2022;Matsuno vd., 2014;Murphy, 2014;Osumi, 2014).…”

Cumhuriyetimizin 100. Yılını coşkuyla kutlamaya hazırlanırken 06 Şubat 2023 tarihinde Kahramanmaraş Merkezli olarak meydana gelen depremler nedeniyle milyonlarca insanımız kahrolmuş, yüz binlerce vatandaşımız yaralanmış ve elli bini aşkın insanımız hayatını kaybetmiştir. Depremlerin ve artçıların yol açtığı yıkımlar, sebep olduğu travma ve imkanların yetersiz kalmasıyla sayısız çeşitlilikte mağduriyetler eş anlı olarak yaşanmış, enkaz altında kalanlar hayata tutunmaya çalışırken dışarda kalanlar yetersiz imkanlar ve kötü iklim koşullarıyla mücadele etmek zorunda kalmışlardır. İnsanlık tarihinin en büyük facialarından biri olan bu afette Anadolu şuuruyla fedakarca hareket eden insanımız elinden gelen bütün imkanları kardeşlerine ulaştırmak için canhıraş bir şekilde çalışmış ve bütün dünyaya örnek olacak bir dayanışma ruhunu ortaya koymuştur. Vatandaşlarımız, sivil toplum kuruluşları, devletimizin ilgili birimleri ve uluslararası kuruluşlar bir taraftan arama kurtarma faaliyetlerine girişirlerken diğer taraftan gıda, giyim ve barınma gibi alanlarda yardımları organize etmeye çalışmışlardır. Bu süreçte; depremlerin büyüklüğü, artçı depremlerin sıklığı, yıkılan bağımsız bölüm sayısının çokluğu ve iklim şartlarının elverişsiz olması gibi olumsuzluklar veri olmakla birlikte, yapılan yardımların daha iyi planlanmış olması ve daha etkin bir şekilde organize edilmiş olması gerektiği açık bir şekilde ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kitap bu ihtiyacı gidermek üzere bir araya gelen akademisyenlerin, kendi uzmanlık alanlarındaki birikimlerini “Neler Yapılabilir” sorusuna ışık tutacak şekilde ortaya koymalarının sonucudur. Sosyal, ekonomik, psikolojik, teknik ve sağlık açısından bilimsel çalışmaları ve politika önerileri içermektedir.

“…(15) makes sure that each of the interior cubes of all cuboids, which belong to a specific zone, will be visited at least once during the duration T of the mission and subsequently the constraint in Eqn. (16) ensures that the agent will visit all | Zi | cuboids and their corresponding interior cubes of the selected zone Zi indicated by the binary variable ẑi . These two constraints in essence make sure that the object will be searched completely in 3D (i.e., by visiting all different cuboids in a zone, all faces of the objects are searched).…”

“…The miniaturization and cost reduction of electronic components and the recent technological advancements in avionics, robotic systems and artificial intelligence has led to the rapid growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We have now reached a state where UAVs have become an important asset in various application domains including response efforts in disaster management [51,15,5,12,35,41,46,45,13,33,34,36,29,4,19,28]. For instance, the use of UAVs in search and rescue (SAR) missions not only can allow for more efficient organization, planning and execution of tasks, but it can also enhance the safety of the first responders by allowing them a) to analyze the situation at hand before proceeding with their operations and b) assisting them during their search operations by providing information about their searching patterns and spreading.…”

The ability to efficiently plan and execute automated and precise search missions using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) during emergency response situations is imperative. Precise navigation between obstacles and time-efficient searching of 3D structures and buildings are essential for locating survivors and people in need in emergency response missions. In this work we address this challenging problem by proposing a unified search planning framework that automates the process of UAV-based search planning in 3D environments. Specifically, we propose a novel search planning framework which enables automated planning and execution of collision-free search trajectories in 3D by taking into account low-level mission constrains (e.g., the UAV dynamical and sensing model), mission objectives (e.g., the mission execution time and the UAV energy efficiency) and user-defined mission specifications (e.g., the 3D structures to be searched and minimum detection probability constraints). The capabilities and performance of the proposed approach are demonstrated through extensive simulated 3D search scenarios.
