TRADR (Long-Term Human-Robot Teaming for Robot-Assisted Disaster Response) project, (EU FP7 framework, grant No. 60963), Europe

The TRADR project was asked by the Italian firebrigade Vigili del Fuoco to provide 3D textured models of two churches: San Francesco and Sant'Agostino in Amatrice, Italy, which was hit by an earthquake on August 24 2016. Both churches are in a state of partial collapse, in need of shoring to prevent potential further destruction and to preserve the national heritage.

The TRADR project team entered San Francesco with two UGVs (ground robots) and one UAV (drone), teleoperating them entirely out of line of sight and partially in collaboration.

The TRADR project develops solutions for perception and modeling of dynamic environments, robot action and human-robot teaming in the context of robot-assisted disaster response. The video highlights the system components and functionalities tested during the TRADR Joint Exercise in July 2016 in Prague with focus on the ground robot platforms, situation awareness and team communication.
