Ground robot technologies in wildfire risk reduction. The viewpoint of the fire service
Background
Robots are not widely used in wildfire risk reduction. Firefighters do not commonly know how to use them and technology providers are not aware of key operational directions for improvements.
Objective
This study aims to identify, catalogue and discuss directions for the development of robot technologies in terms of wildfire risk reduction. The viewpoint of the fire service is presented.
Method
Survey was conducted with experts to gather new knowledge on the use of robots in wildfire response and to identify inspiration for improvements for technology providers.
Results
92 end-user-related developments were categorised into particular elements of wildfire response process. 31 development directions related to technology providers have been assigned to general robot functionalities: ensuring safety of firefighters, shaping situational awareness, and supporting firefighting systems. The robot functionality sets can be implemented in reconnaissance robots, delivery and evacuation robots, and firefighting robots.
Conclusion
Fire service perceives the robot use in wildfire risk reduction more broadly than is reflected by currently developed disaster robots and existing disaster risk reduction concepts. The viewpoint of the fire service can raise awareness among end-users and inspire technology providers to effectively and rationally implement robots for wildfire risk reduction.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Disaster Science is a Gold Open Access journal focusing on integrating research and policy in disaster research, and publishes original research papers and invited viewpoint articles on disaster risk reduction; response; emergency management and recovery.
A key part of the Journal's Publication output will see key experts invited to assess and comment on the current trends in disaster research, as well as highlight key papers.
