10 -ANYmal’s modular design allows it to be equipped with a robotic arm for manipulation tasks, such as opening doors or moving debris, with a payload capacity of up to 7 kg. In search and rescue (SAR) scenarios, ANYmal can autonomously explore, map, and interact with the environment to support human responders, offering real-time data through a wireless network. Additionally, it can be teleoperated using a 6DoF joystick, with data visualized on a 3D screen, making it a versatile tool in dynamic SAR operations

14 +Field teams prefer **robots first, then humans** where practicable; the robot can verify ambiguous detections, check voids, and pre-mark hazards before entry. Operators stressed a **split between control and analysis**: one person supervises locomotion/mode management, another verifies imagery and places markers with confidence and rationale. To fit work rhythms, setup happens at the **BoO**, with **just-in-time activation** at the worksite; handovers (e.g., after a battery swap or link drop) must be explicit, with a clear **“resume from last waypoint”** option. Avoid blocking access routes and ensure the robot’s thermal/noise signature does not interfere with communication or victim detection.
