179 179  **10. Procedure (Step-by-Step)**
180 180  
181 -1. __Team preparation__:
182 -11. FR team ROBOT is trained in operating the robot, analysing the camera stream, and pinning information on C3I
183 -11. Squad leader and BoO are trained for both teams in interpreting the health and location sensor data.
184 -11. Experiment leader knows where hazards and victims are in both buildings.
185 -11. Anymal robot is tested with network in target buildings for experiment (without FR themselves seeing building!)
186 -1. __Experiment preparation:__
187 -11. Building is prepped with victims, hazards, etc.
188 -1. __Briefing:__
189 -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.
190 -11. One person is notified that their health sensor will be triggered during the Building B (difficult building) situation.
191 -1. __Execution:__
192 -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]]
193 -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]]
194 -11. During execution of both teams, performance will be measured by experiment leader:
195 -111. Mission completion time
196 -111. Health indicators stay within acceptable range
197 -111. Time for tackling any health alerts
198 -111. Track FR path
199 -1. __Hotwash__:
200 -11. Questions (specified per role, couple questions per topic) on:
201 -111. Near-incident report
202 -111. Path inside
203 -111. FR location and status of hazards, victims, and layout
204 -111. Mission effectiveness: e.g. self reported effectiveness of decisions
205 -111. Self-reported workload
206 -111. Trust survey
207 -11. Group discussion with feedback
