1.2 | 1 | | |**TDP2 Robots First, Then Humans Protocol** |
| 2 | |**Visual**|[[image:1774262190622-968.png]] | ||
| 3 | |**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. | ||
| 4 | |**Intent**|Reduce human exposure while maintaining tempo. | ||
| 5 | |**Context**|Unknown or unsafe areas under time pressure. | ||
| 6 | |**Problem**|Early entry increases risk; waiting blindly wastes time. | ||
| 7 | |**Solution**|((( | ||
| 8 | **Phase A: Robotic Recon** (autonomous/assisted) to map, detect hazards, propose ingress. | ||
| |
1.1 | 9 | |
| |
1.2 | 10 | **Go/No-Go gates** (e.g., coverage ≥ X%, hazards, ≥ Z viable routes). |
| |
1.1 | 11 | |
| |
1.2 | 12 | **Phase B: Human Entry** after a standardized Recon Brief; keep robotic overwatch. |
| 13 | ))) | ||
| 14 | |**Roles**|Recon Operator; Analyst; Safety Officer; Entry Team Lead. | ||
| 15 | |**Taks balance (Human vs Machine)**|((( | ||
| 16 | **Human:** set objectives, interpret brief, decide go/no-go, choose route, manage risk. | ||
| |
1.1 | 17 | |
| |
1.2 | 18 | **Machine:** run coverage sweeps, detect/label hazards, provide confidence |
| 19 | ))) | ||
| |
1.3 | 20 | |**Advantages**|((( |
| 21 | * Increased situation awareness for first responder team (due to detailed information (videostream, audio, 3D map, etc.) from the robot.) | ||
| 22 | * Improved safety for first responders (due to avoiding more hazards due to increased situation awareness of site interior.) | ||
| 23 | * More effective decision making which resulted in positive outcomes (due to increased situation awareness.) | ||
| 24 | ))) | ||
| 25 | |**Disadvantages**|((( | ||
| 26 | * Risk of delay if robots struggle. | ||
| 27 | * Potentially slower mission completion time due to robot being slower than human or dog. | ||
| 28 | ))) | ||
