124 +**10. Procedure (Step-by-Step)**
125 +
126 +1. __Team preparation__:
127 +11. FR team ROBOT is trained in operating the robot, analysing the camera stream, and pinning information on C3I
128 +11. Squad leader and BoO are trained for both teams in interpreting the health and location sensor data.
129 +11. Experiment leader knows where hazards and victims are in both buildings.
130 +11. Anymal robot is tested with network in target buildings for experiment (without FR themselves seeing building!)
131 +1. __Experiment preparation:__
132 +11. Building is prepped with victims, hazards, etc.
133 +1. __Briefing:__
134 +11. Same for both teams for both building types: Building has been inspected from outside and is estimated safe for entry. Situation inside unknown. Victims possibly present. Goal: find, assess, and extract victims while avoiding and mapping hazards.
135 +11. One person is notified that their health sensor will be triggered during the Building B (difficult building) situation.
136 +1. __Execution:__
137 +11. For FR team ROBOT, see: [[UC04.3: Detailed indoor exploration with ANYMAL (USAR)>>2\. Specification.b\. Use Cases.UC04\.0\: Detailed indoor exploration.UC04\.3\: Detailed indoor exploration with ANYMAL (USAR).WebHome]]
138 +11. For FR team HUMAN, see: [[UC04.4: Detailed indoor exploration without ANYMAL (USAR)>>2\. Specification.b\. Use Cases.UC04\.0\: Detailed indoor exploration.UC04\.3\: Detailed indoor exploration with ANYmal (USAR).WebHome]]
139 +11. During execution of both teams, performance will be measured by experiment leader:
140 +111. Mission completion time
141 +111. Health indicators stay within acceptable range
142 +111. Time for tackling any health alerts
143 +111. Track FR path
144 +1. __Hotwash__:
145 +11. Questions (specified per role, couple questions per topic) on:
146 +111. Near-incident report
147 +111. Path inside
148 +111. FR location and status of hazards, victims, and layout
149 +111. Mission effectiveness: e.g. self reported effectiveness of decisions
150 +111. Self-reported workload
151 +111. Trust survey
152 +11. Group discussion with feedback
