Abstract

In recent years, the rapid development of robot technology has gradually led to the reality that humans are replaced by robots in dangerous occupations. However, in contrast to robots in other fields, robots in hazardous professions have a wide variety and complexity due to the low repeatability and high uncertainty of tasks, so they have specialized functions and no relative standard form. As a result, the eligibility criteria for evaluating this type of robot remain unclear. This paper focuses on two criteria that can be used to evaluate such robots and determine whether existing robots in hazardous professions meet these criteria. In order to find solutions to the issues, many papers related to rescue robots is reviewed, and important information is extracted and reintegrated to obtain the final results. In this paper, capability and practical acceptability are two evaluation criteria of robots in hazardous obtained. At the same time, it is judged that most of the existing robots meet both of the standards, but they expose a great number of defects when facing a more complex environment. This paper also provides several suggestions that might address the existing limitations.

Keywords:
