CURSOR - Accelerating Search and Rescue operations

In the face of natural or man-made disaster, urban search and rescue teams and other first responders like police, medical units or civil protection race against the clock to locate survivors within the critical 72-hour timeframe (Golden Hours), facing challenges such as instable structures or hazardous environments but also insufficient situational awareness – all resulting in lengthy SaR processes. In order to speed up the detection of survivors trapped in collapsed buildings and to improve working conditions for the first responders, the CURSOR project will design an innovative CURSOR Search and Rescue Kit (CURSOR SaR Kit) based using drones, miniaturised robotic equipment, and advanced sensors.

Launched in September 2019 CURSOR is a project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 832790) and by the Japan Science and Technology Agency.
