| TDP2 Robots First, Then Humans Protocol | |
| Visual | ![]() |
| Description | Robots explore first; humans enter only after safe passage is guaranteed. Robots and humans are working in an alternating fashion sweeping areas or floors for speed. |
| Intent | Reduce human exposure while maintaining tempo. |
| Context | Unknown or unsafe areas under time pressure. |
| Problem | Early entry increases risk; waiting blindly wastes time. |
| Solution | Phase A: Robotic Recon (autonomous/assisted) to map, detect hazards, propose ingress. Go/No-Go gates (e.g., coverage ≥ X%, hazards, ≥ Z viable routes). Phase B: Human Entry after a standardized Recon Brief; keep robotic overwatch. |
| Roles | Recon Operator; Analyst; Safety Officer; Entry Team Lead. |
| Taks balance (Human vs Machine) | Human: set objectives, interpret brief, decide go/no-go, choose route, manage risk. Machine: run coverage sweeps, detect/label hazards, provide confidence |
| Consequence | Lower exposure; clearer entry rationale; risk of delay if robots struggle. |
