Experience shows that any incident serious enough to require robot involvement will most likely involve a sequence of sorties over several hours, days and even months. TRADR focuses on the challenges that thus arise for the persistence of environment models, multi-robot action models, and human-robot teaming, in order to allow incremental capability improvement over the duration of a mission. TRADR applies a user centric design approach to disaster response robotics, with use cases involving the response to a medium to large scale industrial accident by teams consisting of human rescuers and several robots (both ground and airborne). This paper describes the fundamentals of the project: the motivation, objectives and approach in contrast to related work.Disaster response roboticsPersistent environment modelsPersistent human-robot teamingPersistent multi-robot action modelsPersistent multi-robot collaboration modelsUser-centric designText/Journal Article1610-1987
