Adding an arm to the autonomous inspection robot

As in industrial Oil & Gas environment some zones cannot be accessed by humans without a dedicated equipment, in case of incidents (such as a gas leak), it can be useful to have a robot able to intervene as the first support.

So, to have that kind of feature, the robot needs to have an additional arm with a gripper that allows him to extract when necessary an human from a danger zone.

In order to preserve the human from additional injuries while pulled out from the zone, the robot should have sensors and equipment able to have a first basic diagnosis (thermal camera, speakers, microphone) when crossing a person lying on the zone. 

Note that an operator can take the lead on the robot and uses it as a remote tool to avoid any risk on an autonomous computed decision from the robot which is not accurate with the incident environment.

Note that the robot arm should stand to lift/drag the weight of a human body
