The goal of the urban search and rescue (USAR) robot competitions is to 
increase awareness of the challenges involved in search and rescue 
applications, provide objective evaluation of robotic implementations in 
representative environments, and promote collaboration between 
researchers. It requires robots to demonstrate their capabilities in 
mobility, sensory perception, planning, mapping, and practical operator 
interfaces, while searching for simulated victims in unstructured 
environments.
