116 **10. Procedure (Step-by-Step)**
117
118 1. __Team preparation__:
119 11. FR team ROBOT is trained in operating the robot, analysing the camera stream, and pinning information on C3I
120 11. Squad leader and BoO are trained for both teams in interpreting the health and location sensor data.
121 11. Experiment leader knows where hazards and victims are in both buildings.
122 11. Anymal robot is tested with network in target buildings for experiment (without FR themselves seeing building!)
123 1. __Experiment preparation:__
124 11. Building is prepped with victims, hazards, etc.
125 1. __Briefing:__
126 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.
127 11. One person is notified that their health sensor will be triggered during the Building B (difficult building) situation.
128 1. __Execution:__
129 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]]
130 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]]
131 11. During execution of both teams, performance will be measured by experiment leader:
132 111. Mission completion time
133 111. Health indicators stay within acceptable range
134 111. Time for tackling any health alerts
135 111. Track FR path
136 1. __Hotwash__:
137 11. Questions on:
138 111. Near-incident report
139 111. Path inside
140 111. FR location and status of hazards, victims, and layout
141 111. Mission effectiveness
142 111. Self-reported workload
143 111. Trust survey
