“…This is accomplished through the development of novel human–robot interfaces, and control and perception algorithms that allow human operators to dynamically switch between full autonomy and shared control as the rescue situation demands. Throughout the project, the member labs have made fundamental contributions in perception (Fankhauser et al, ; Gawel et al, ; Scaramuzza et al, ), control (Bellicoso, Jenelten, Gehring, & Hutter, 2018b; Faessler et al, ), and human–robot interaction (Gromov et al, ; Rognon et al, ), for flying (Falanga et al, ; Mintchev & Floreano, ), legged (Hutter et al, ), and amphibious robots (Horvat et al, 2017a). A recent research focus has been on field readiness and deployments in real‐world environments, and to that end, teams of flying, walking, and amphibious robots from NCCR have performed demonstrations in increasingly challenging and realistic environments, moving from indoor mock‐up scenarios (NCCR‐Demo, ), to the European Robotics League Emergency Robots Competition (ERL, ), and a week‐long event in a military rescue training facility.…”
