NIFTi achieves "Excellent" with "exceeding expectations" at Year 2 Review
The NIFTi consortium recently presented its latest results in science & technology for human-robot collaboration in USAR, at the Year 2 review. The review was hosted by the Istituto Superiore Antincendi in Rome (Italy), and the Scuola di Formazione Operativa at Montelibretti (Italy).
NIFTi creates new robot arm
To provide a better view on or into large objects, NIFTi created a KOHGA3-style arm to lift a camera platform up to 1.50m. Using this arm, the robot and its operator can look for example into cars or trucks, or onto larger rubble piles. The new arm was demonstrated at the recent Year 2 review, at SFO in Montelibretti (Italy).
NIFTi Year 2 summary available
In Year 2 the project focused on "human-assisted joint exploration" of a tunnel accident disaster site. We approached the problem from the viewpoint of a human-robot team, involving several humans at a remote command post, one in-field human to pilot a UAV, and a UGV (operated from the remote command post).
