Original abstract

Incidents in chemical plants can pose a high level of risk and harsh environments for first responders. Contamination and explosion hazards can deny human access to the affected infrastructure, underscoring the need for capable robot systems. This field report documents the successful deployment of a robotic task force to neutralize an explosive gas hazard at a chemical plant after a fire incident. An Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) with a custom manipulation tool opened a critical valve under hazardous conditions, averting the threat of a large-scale explosion. We provide insights into robot deployment and use the mission results to highlight both the importance of rescue robotics and limitations of using research platforms in real emergency deployments, such as communication constraints and the need for enhanced operator-assistance functions.
