This study introduces a system implemented on a legged robot, designed to generate a multi-layered map that incorporates semantic information, specifically tailored for Search & Rescue robotics. The article discusses the development of a Machine Learning model based on visual data for recognizing people and environmental features, and its integration into a mapping and navigation architecture. The system was tested in two different locations using the Spot robot by Boston Dynamics, equipped with an external ZED2 depth camera. Tests are described in detail and results analyzed.

Abstract

This study introduces a system implemented on a legged robot, designed to generate a multi-layered map that incorporates semantic information, specifically tailored for Search & Rescue robotics. The article discusses the development of a Machine Learning model based on visual data for recognizing people and environmental features, and its integration into a mapping and navigation architecture. The system was tested in two different locations using the Spot robot by Boston Dynamics, equipped with an external ZED2 depth camera. Tests are described in detail and results analyzed.
