5 SHERPA Operative Conditions Statistics from CAI 5
6 The SHERPA Environment Search and rescue in unfriendly and possibly hostile environments, like the ones in which civil protection, alpine rescuers and forest guards usually operate Features: Unstructured environments Severe operative conditions (weather, terrain,..) Presence of human (rescuer) often focused on demanding tasks Team (Human & Machine) capabilities Emotional aspects
7 CAI - CNSAS CAI non-profit, non-political organization, devoted to search and rescue operations in mountains and caves more than volunteer technicians > operations per year It is a national body of the National Service for Civil Protection. 7

12 SAR Operations Many different types of rescue operations: WINTER: Sky (resort / off-piste) Avalanches Ice climbing High altitude SUMMER Search of missing persons Paragliding / Biking / Canyoning Rock climbing High altitude 25/10/2013 SSRR 2013, Linkoping 12
13 SAR Operations Different environmental conditions WINTER: Cold temperatures (-30 o ) Shorter days Mobility difficulties (snow) Generally: worse weather 13
14 SAR Operations Different environmental conditions SUMMER: Temperatures (-10o +40o) Stronger thermal activity (wind) Mobility problems related to vegetation Generally: much larger areas to be patrolled 14
15 THE SHERPA VISION 15
16 The SHERPA Animals Patrolling hawks Busy Genius Trained wasps Intelligent donkey 16
17 The SHERPA Animals Busy genius A human rescuer, expert of the specific rescuing mission or surveillance activity (e.g. a mountain guide, a specifically trained specialist, a forest guard, ) The human transmits wirelessly his position to the robotic platform and communicates to it through handy and easy-to-operate technological devices busy genius Incomparable cognitive capabilities Often distracted by demanding rescuing activity ( sketchy inputs ) 17
18 The SHERPA Animals Trained wasp Small-scale UAVs with onboard cameras/receivers Improved surveillance, capability of reaching rapidly a target location in the neighborhood of the team, increasing the patrolled rescuing area ( flying eyes ) Handy devices: Technically conceived to be supervised by the human in simple and natural way Safe and operable in the vicinity of the human (hand deployment) Multi-rotors configurations 18
19 CNSAS interest Interest in wasps Quadcopters equipped with cameras (RGB, thermal, ) or other sensors fast survey of limited areas able to flight in a forest and scan areas with cameras (normal or thermal); feedback video for ground station; flying eyes for the rescuer exploration of steep walls rescue operations on cableways (cable cars) avalanche equipped with beacon possible new (more efficient) search methods 19
20 The SHERPA Animals Patrolling hawks High-altitude, High-Payload unmanned aerial vehicles, patrolling a large area at high-altitude (50-100m) and complementing the capabilities of the small-scale UAVs. Constructing rough 3D maps of the rescuing area, serving as a communication hub. Fixed-wing, Rmax Complementarities with respect to the small scale UAVs (operational synergies) 20
21 CNSAS interest Interest in hawks RMAX: deployment of wasps to improve efficiency Carry and deploy first aid kit for missing people (sleeping bad, medicines, thermos flask) Radio/Wi-Fi/GSM bridge for not covered areas Flying in the night with laser scanners when real helicopters cannot flight Fixed wing: first and fast scan of incident area Equipped with high resolution cameras could send images of the area to the ground station and with computer vision algorithms detect on snow proofs of potential victim (gloves, ski, backpacks) Radio/Wi-Fi/GSM bridge for not covered areas 21
22 The SHERPA Animals Intelligent donkey Ground rover: intelligent carrying vehicle equipped with a multifunctional robotic arm Recovering/re-charging base for the aerial vehicles, able to improve the operative radius and the overall autonomy of the combined system, carrying vehicle-20 Kg payload The SHERPA Box 22
23 CNSAS interest Interest in donkeys Aircraft carrier : docking and deployment station for wasps to increase efficiency and recharge batteries. Radio bridge. Almost fixed ground station with limited movements. Payload limited for batteries and hardware Useless in winter 23
24 The SHERPA Vision Limited and implicit communication. when human teams successfully perform complex rescue missions (few words and simple gestures especially mountaineers!) Intuitive and adaptive cooperation Context-sensitive information filtering Dynamic cognitive map (multi-faced information) Distributed situation awareness paradigm Hierarchical vs Heterarchical architectures Robust control and mechanics 24
25 The SHERPA Benchmarks Virtual ground leashing ( The rescuer virtually pulls the rover, precisely as an owner would do with his pet on the leash ) Virtual aerial leashing ( the UAVs behave like kites virtually pulled by the rescuer ) Ground and aerial deployment Team coordina0on The Avalanche ( the ultimate ) ü Test site of the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research of ETHZ
26 The SHERPA vision A. Enhancing Cognition through Multi-Modal Interfacing and Interaction ü Distributed Situation Awareness Dynamic Cognitive Map ü Multimodal human robot interaction and gestures as a modality for cognition and control B. Decision Support Systems for Cognitive Decision Making and Cooperation ü Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Technologies ü Reactive Planning and Execution Monitoring ü Delegation, Distributed Planning and Team Collaboration C. Single and Multi-Robotic Control, Actuation and Mechanical Design ü Low-Level Reactive Planning, Control and Data Fusion ü Mechanical Design and Integration D. Distributed Architectures Supporting Cognition, Cooperation and Control ü Architectural Issues and Objectives ü Architectural Support for the Dynamic Cognitive Map E. Validation and Benchmarks 26
27 Conclusions Mountains: a very challenging environment for S&R missions, with many complex operational scenarios Some of these scenarios have been outlined Robotic technology may help, and we have the vision, but FOLLOW US: 27
