    Rescue operations require technology to assist the rescue process. The robotic technology in these missions is becoming very important. The important aspects investigated in this study are the integration of a mechatronic system that will allow for a robotic platform with a vision system. The research collaboration between Argentina and South Africa is discussed, with the correlating research areas that each country investigated. The study permitted the development and advancement of a search and rescue system for different robots (wayfarer and drones) with different vision capabilities. A novel and innovative vision approach is presented.
