      abstract = {This book acts as a guide to the theory and practice of  disaster robotics. It can serve as an introduction for  researchers and technologists, a reference for emergency  managers, and a textbook in field robotics. After an  overview of rescue robotics in the context of emergency  informatics, it provides a chronological summary and formal  analysis of the thirty-four documented deployments of  robots to disasters that include the 2001 collapse of the  World Trade Center, Hurricane Katrina, the 2010 Haiti  earthquake, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the 2011  Japanese earthquake and tsunami, and numerous mining  accidents. It then examines disaster robotics in the  typical robot modalities of ground, air, and marine,  addressing topics of: robot types, missions and tasks, and  selection heuristics for each modality. The book also  discusses types of fieldwork, providing advice on matters  that include collecting data and collaborating with  emergency professionals. --},
