Abstract
Previous work [5] has summarized our experiences working with the Hillsborough Fire Rescue Department and FEMA documents pertaining to Urban Search and Rescue. This paper discusses the lessons learned and casts them into four main categories of tasks for the physical agent portion of RoboCup-Rescue: 1) reconnaissance and site assessment, 2) rescuer safety, 3) victim detection, and 4) mapping and characterizing the structure.
Acknowledgments
The authors would like to thank Special Operations Chief, Ronald Rogers, and Jeff Hewitt of the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, and LTC John Blitch for their helpful discussions. Some photographs were collected during constructive experiments funded under the DARPA TMR program at the SRDR USAR training site in Miami Beach.
