[comp.robotics] Mobile robots

danstr@folke.se (Dan Str|mberg) (03/05/91)

I am investigating possibilities to use remotely operated mobile vehicles 
(intervention robots) for fire fighting inside houses. I would like to 
communicate with people who know anything about
- similar projects,
- commercial market (exhibitions, suppliers) for suitable vehicles, or
- research aiming at increase of the operating autonomy on the task level
  ("task level teleprogramming").
