42 -1. [Describe preparation]
43 -1. [Briefing]
44 -1. [Execution]
45 -1. [Debrief / Hotwash]
176 +1. __Team preparation__:
177 +11. FR team ROBOT is trained in operating the robot, analysing the camera stream, and pinning information on C3I
178 +11. Squad leader and BoO are trained for both teams in interpreting the health and location sensor data.
179 +11. Experiment leader knows where hazards and victims are in both buildings.
180 +11. Anymal robot is tested with network in target buildings for experiment (without FR themselves seeing building!)
181 +1. __Experiment preparation:__
182 +11. Building is prepped with victims, hazards, etc.
183 +1. __Briefing:__
184 +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.
185 +11. One person is notified that their health sensor will be triggered during the Building B (difficult building) situation.
186 +1. __Execution:__
187 +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]]
188 +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]]
189 +11. During execution of both teams, performance will be measured by experiment leader:
190 +111. Mission completion time
191 +111. Health indicators stay within acceptable range
192 +111. Time for tackling any health alerts
193 +111. Track FR path
194 +1. __Hotwash__:
195 +11. Questions (specified per role, couple questions per topic) on:
196 +111. Near-incident report
197 +111. Path inside
198 +111. FR location and status of hazards, victims, and layout
199 +111. Mission effectiveness: e.g. self reported effectiveness of decisions
200 +111. Self-reported workload
201 +111. Trust survey
202 +11. Group discussion with feedback
