Outline ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
1. Introduction and background – the EU FP6 Guardians project ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
2. Fire-fighting context, setting and operations => Smoke – means heavy breathing apparatus, little to no vision, guidelines => Noise – means limited audio communication, establish protocols => Heat – physical stress => Touch – limited dexterity => 20 minutes maximum, risks to lives – mental stress
2. Fire-fighting context, setting and operations => Fire event: little information available a priori... => 1 st  task: to assess the incident and the primary risks => Fire-fighters safety: high(est) priority! =>Organized into teams, then groups of 2 – 3 fire-fighters Incident  Commander Operations  Commander Sector  Commander Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Safety Officer ECO Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Sector 3 Sector 2 Sector 1
3. The Guardians baseline setup Incident  Commander Operations  Commander Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Safety Officer ECO Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Sector 3 Sector 2 Sector 1 R R R R Coordinator Operator(s) Sensor Data Specialist(s) Sector  Commander Guardians’ Base Station
4. Direct Human Swarm Interactions  Incident  Commander Operations  Commander Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Safety Officer ECO Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Sector 3 Sector 2 Sector 1 R R R Sector  Commander R Coordinator Direct Human-Swarm Interactions Operator(s) Sensor Data Specialist(s) Guardians’ Base Station
4. Direct Human Swarm Interactions ,[object Object],=> Guidance / navigation (e.g. toward exit in case of increasing risk) => Informing fire-fighters about current ambient conditions in the vicinity (e.g. heat level, chemicals) => Small distance forward scouting
4. Direct Human Swarm Interactions ,[object Object]
4. Direct Human Swarm Interactions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],4. Direct Human Swarm Interactions => Real operational fire-fighting helmet => Experimenting with a group of two fire-fighters => Logical commands encoding and display => Integration of internal measurement unit (IMU) => More stress (reporting, counting light flashes and memorising the mental map)
5. Remote Human Swarm Interactions  Incident  Commander Operations  Commander Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Fire-fighter Safety Officer ECO Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Sector 3 Sector 2 Sector 1 R R R Sector  Commander R Coordinator Operator(s) Sensor Data Specialist(s) Guardians’ Base Station Remote Human-Swarm Interactions
5. Remote Human Swarm Interactions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
5. Remote Human Swarm Interactions ,[object Object]
5. Remote Human Swarm Interactions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
5. Remote Human Swarm Interactions Fire-fighter and robots 3D representation Robots sensors + video - joint visualization (ecological display paradigm) High level command generation wizard
6. Conclusion and future work ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Remote HSI - Operator role usability evaluation so far => further work to focus  on Sensor Data Specialist and Coordinator roles - Multi-user, joint operations to be experimented and evaluated Interfaces design for fire-fighters support - Complex but valuable approach to integrate user inputs into  the design and development process - Incremental usability evaluation process (formative feedback)
