This latter characteristic allows to port easily the simulated algorithms to real world robots. MAES features movement in a continuous 2D space, realistic physics based on the Unity framework, advanced visualization techniques such as heatmaps, custom wireless signal degradation, both randomly generated and custom user-provided maps, and a ROS (Robot Operating System) interface.

With the aim of allowing the realistic simulation of exploration and coverage algorithms, we present the tool Multi Agent Exploration Simulator (MAES), which is an open-source physics based discrete step multi robot simulator. This endeavour will contribute to providing a broader knowledge of ethical and technological factors that must be taken into account throughout the design and development of snake robots.
With this perspective, particular emphasis has been put on snake robotics in this study by considering ethical and design issues. Among the vast variety of SAR robots that are available nowadays, snake robots have shown huge potential as they could be fitted with sensors and used for transporting tools to hazardous or confined areas that other robots and humans are unable to access. In this study, the most relevant ethical and design issues that arise when using robotic and cognitive technology in SAR are discussed with a focus on the response phase. Hence, ethical issues with technologies in SAR must be taken into consideration at the development stage. However, these operations also call for careful consideration of several factors, including safety, severity, and resources. Therefore, it is crucial to connect contemporary technology (i.e., robots and cognitive approaches) to SAR to save human lives. Assisting the impacted people will soon involve human-robot Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. The effects of catastrophes (i.e., war, earthquake, fire, tsunami) on people are therefore significant and grave. Every year, especially in urban areas, the population density rises quickly.
