 TDP2 Robots First, Then Humans Protocol

DescriptionRobots 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.
IntentReduce human exposure while maintaining tempo.
ContextUnknown or unsafe areas under time pressure.
ProblemEarly 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.

RolesRecon 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

ConsequenceLower exposure; clearer entry rationale; risk of delay if robots struggle.
