autonomous swarm of heterogeneous RObots for BORDER surveillance

Descripción del proyecto

Robots inteligentes para la protección de fronteras

La complejidad de las amenazas a las que se enfrentan las autoridades fronterizas y los servicios de seguridad de toda Europa limita su eficacia a la hora de patrullar y proteger las fronteras. Aunque existen varias herramientas de investigación e iniciativas dirigidas a estos ámbitos de forma independiente, las autoridades fronterizas carecen de una solución inteligente y única. El equipo del proyecto ROBORDER, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende desarrollar y demostrar un sistema autónomo de vigilancia de fronteras plenamente funcional. El sistema utilizará robots móviles no tripulados —incluidos vehículos aéreos, acuáticos, submarinos y terrestres— que operarán tanto de forma independiente como en enjambres, incorporando sensores adicionales en el marco de una red interoperable. Además, utilizará tecnologías de detección y robótica adaptables y capaces de funcionar en diversos entornos. El equipo del proyecto se centrará en el desarrollo de capacidades de detección de actividades ilegales e incidentes peligrosos.

Objetivo

Border authorities and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) across Europe face important challenges in how they patrol and protect the borders. Their work becomes more problematic considering the heterogeneity of threats, the wideness of the surveyed area, the adverse weather conditions and the wide range of terrains. Although there are several research tools and works targeting these areas independently for border surveillance, nowadays border authorities do not have access to an intelligent holistic solution providing all aforementioned functionalities.
Towards delivering such a solution, ROBORDER aims at developing and demonstrating a fully-functional autonomous border surveillance system with unmanned mobile robots including aerial, water surface, underwater and ground vehicles, capable of functioning both as standalone and in swarms, which will incorporate multimodal sensors as part of an interoperable network. The system will be equipped with adaptable sensing and robotic technologies that can operate in a wide range of operational and environmental settings. To provide a complete and detailed situational awareness picture that supports highly efficient operations, the network of sensors will include static networked sensors such as border surveillance radars, as well as mobile sensors customised and installed on board unmanned vehicles.
To succeed implementing an operational solution, a number of supplementary technologies will also be applied that will enable the establishment of robust communication links between the command and control unit and the heterogeneous robots. On top of this, detection capabilities for early identification of criminal activities and hazardous incidents will be developed. This information will be forwarded to the command and control unit that will enable the integration of large volumes of heterogeneous sensor data and the provision of a quick overview of the situation at a glance to the operators, supporting them in their decisions.
