Ruiz Garcia and Karthik Pushparaj and Fiora Pirri}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper, we describe a Mixed-Initiative Operational Model (MIOM) which directly intervenes on the state of the functionalities embedded into a robot for Urban Search&Rescue (USAR) domain applications. MIOM extends the reasoning capabilities of the vehicle, i.e. mapping, path planning, visual perception and trajectory tracking, with operator knowledge. Especially in USAR scenarios, this coupled initiative has the main advantage of enhancing the overall performance of a rescue mission. In-field experiments with rescue responders have been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of this operational model.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {6}, year = {2016}, pages = {1094 - 1104}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10004629}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/114}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 114, 2016}, }
