A Human Multi-Robot Interaction Framework for Search and Rescue in the Alps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present a framework that allows a single operator to monitor and control the operations of multiple robots during Search & Rescue missions in an alpine environment. This work is framed in the context of the SHERPA project whose goal is to develop a mixed ground and aerial robotic platform to support search and rescue activities in alpine scenario. In this context, the human operator is not fully dedicated to the robot control, but involved in the search and rescue mission, hence only able to partially monitor and command the robotic team. In this paper, we briefly illustrate the overall framework and describe on-the-field tests with two drones equipped with on-board cameras.

Search & Rescue using Multi-Robot Systems
Robotic search and rescue is a challenging yet promising research area which has significant real-world application potentials. In this paper, a survey of multi-robot systems and how they can be implemented in search and rescue operations is presented. In particular, the problems of task allocation, communication, and human-robot interaction in multi-robot systems are explored.

This paper presents results from three years of studying human-robot interaction in the context of the AAAI Robot Rescue Competition. We discuss our study methodology, the competitors’ systems and performance, and suggest ways to improve human-robot interaction in the urban search and rescue as well as other remote robot operations.
متن کاملAn Experimental Study on Blinking and Eye Movement Detection via EEG Signals for Human-Robot Interaction Purposes Based on a Spherical 2-DOF Parallel Robot
Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...
متن کاملRSARSim: A Toolkit for Evaluating HRI in Robotic Search and Rescue Tasks
A well-designed human-robot interface (HRI) is important for the success of search and rescue operations in urban environments. Controlling multiple robotic agents increases the complexity of the human operator’s control task since the human operator’s attention has to be divided between several robots. Without a good user interface, adding more robots to the system will not necessarily increas...
متن کاملMultimodal Interaction with Co-located Drones for Search and Rescue
We present a multimodal interaction framework that allows a human operator to interact with co-located drones during search and rescue missions. In contrast with usual human-multidrones interaction scenarios, in this case the operator is not fully dedicated to the control of the robots, but directly involved in search and rescue tasks, hence only able to provide fast, although high-value, instr...
