Abstract
PACRR stands for Piloted/Autonomous Crisis Reconnaissance Robot. The aim of PACRR is to create a low-cost, autonomous-capable quadruped robot for first responder applications such as search and rescue, detecting gas leaks, mapping obstructed areas, and other situations that are dangerous or too confined for humans. The design process for PACRR involved the addition of perception sensors to use with a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm, alterations to the power delivery system, adjusting the control of the robot, as well as other hardware and software modifications to an open-source 3D-printed design originally developed at Monash University called DINGO.
