Robotic technologies, whether they are remotely operated vehicles, autonomous agents, assistive devices, or novel control interfaces, offer many promising capabilities for deployment in real-world environments. Postdisaster scenarios are a particularly relevant target for applying such technologies, due to the challenging conditions faced by rescue workers and the possibility to increase their efficacy while decreasing the risks they face. However, field-deployable technologies for rescue work have requirements for robustness, speed, versatility, and ease of use that may not be matched by the state of the art in robotics research.

“…These tasks may involve the retrieval of samples, opening doors, or moving obstacles in cluttered environments (Hornung et al, 2014). Latest research have also begun to explore the use of various locomotion mechanisms as base for the humanoid robot to improve locomotion performance in challenging terrain (Badger et al, 2016;Khatib et al, 2016;Yaguchi et al, 2015). For tasks that involve coverage of large spaces, multi-agent systems and swarm robotics have emerged as a rapid solution that enhances the capabilities of individual robots.…”

This paper presents a holistic overview of robotics and autonomous systems developed for applications in harsh environments where interactions with robots are difficult to model due to reasons such as dynamics, uncertainty, complexity and unpredictability. Robots of different characteristics and designs are required to perform different tasks within these environments. A number of classes of robots emerge as particularly favoured by the research community for solving challenging problems in difficult environments. Key examples of these deployments are studied with an analysis on how high-level autonomy is a key issue that must be addressed. The surveyed work suggest that the lack of observable autonomy in many systems are a consequence of both the complexity of the problem and the lack of proven reliability of autonomous solutions for applications that demand high success rates. This paper provides a broad and general overview of autonomous robots deployed in harsh environments and the commonalities of the challenges and existing solutions across application areas, including oil and gas inspection, space exploration, deep-sea operations and search and rescue.

Abstract-Across a wide range of industries and applications, robotics and autonomous systems can fulfil the crucial and challenging tasks such as inspection, exploration, monitoring, drilling, sampling and mapping in areas of scientific discovery, disaster prevention, human rescue and infrastructure management, etc. However, in many situations, the associated environment is either too dangerous or inaccessible to humans. Hence, a wide range of robots have been developed and deployed to replace or aid humans in these activities. A look at these harsh environment applications of robotics demonstrate the diversity of technologies developed. This paper reviews some key application areas of robotics that involve interactions with harsh environments (such as search and rescue, space exploration, and deep-sea operations), gives an overview of the developed technologies and provides a discussion of the key trends and future directions common to many of these areas.
