Cooperative autonomous robots will be used to search an unknown terrain, map the environment, and locate   and save victims. Using wireless communication, the robots will be able to maximize results by cooperating with   each other. Due to this cooperation, areas will not be covered twice and robots will have the ability to assist   each other in recovering victims. Upon implementation of the final design of this project, the goal is to   demonstrate that having cooperative autonomous robots perform a search and rescue task is more effective   than robots operating independent of each other. Benefits include more victims saved, more area covered, and   a faster execution time. In the case of search and rescue applications, the benefits previously mentioned are   all keys to a successful operation.
