Post-Disaster Robotic System: Architectural and Energetic aspects

According to Guhar-Sapir and Hoyois [GuHo13], in 2012, natural disasters (earthquakes, landslides, and severe weather, such as tropical cyclones, severe storms, floods [OFD, WiCo10]) killed about 10000 people, and 124.5 million people become victims, worldwide. Economic damages did show an increase to above-average levels (143 billion US dollars). When a natural disaster occurs in a populated area, it is mandatory to organize disaster management operations quickly and effectively in order to assist the population, to reduce the number of victims, and to mitigate the economic consequences [CFR+06, FDR05].
