Abstract

In this paper we discuss a field study at Disaster City, Texas in March 2006. First Responders and robot developers tried out various concepts of operations in a number of disaster scenarios. Observations, video data, and questionnaire data were analyzed and based on these results, we propose some guidelines as well as some future research areas for human-robot interaction. In addition to the guidelines proposed as a result of our observations in this study, we include design implications from other literature, both laboratory and field studies.
