Abstract—Image processing along with multiple algorithms
holds significance in rescue mission. With the modern
technologies of image processing, the scope to rescue helpless
people has become high, even where human can not reach. It
has become more useful for unmanned aerial rescue robots
and automated search-based rescue robots. Sometimes human
eye can miss clues but with accurate programming, image
processable eye does not miss even a single one. In this
research, that type of image processing feature holds an
important vision for “Robo-Res version 1.0”. Robo-Res version
1.0 is an experimental prototype of humanoid rescue-robot,
that also has been implemented in this research. It will lead
rescue operation on the impassable situations for human.
algorithm, S. P Malewar and H. Dakhore took the image
processing intelligence to a new dimension for rescue
operation in [9]. Besides, the researches in [10-15] were also
noticeably helpful to enrich the rescue-robot’s structure and
intelligence.

II. RESEARCHES ON RESCUE-ROBOT AND ITS INTELLIGENCE

Researches on rescue-robots with different intelligence
have been dynamically improvised on several labs until now.
L. Zhu and his team designed a motion control system for
their ARM-based rescue-robot, which included a good step
in rescue mission [1]. In 2004, T. Fincannon and his team
showed that the social intelligence in rescue-robot is also
necessary before final deploying [2]. In [3], line following (a) (b)

this research, image processing intelligence analysis has been
done on the Robo-Res project with a version name of “Robo-
Res 1.0”. The fire-extinguishing ball throwing action has
also been tested in Robo-Res 1.0 also. But it will be focused
on the final hand-design version; named as “Robo-Res 3.0”.
The detection related checkpoints met the satisfactory level
with the image processing analysis on this research. In
future, Robo-Res 2.0 will be initiated with realistic humanoid
leg design and human alike walking ability. The final Robo-
Res setup will be helpful for human being in all the type of
rescue operations along with other rescue-robots.
