abstract
This paper summarizes the recommended additions to standards being developed by the ASTM E54.08 Homeland Security committee from the NSF-JST-NIST Workshop on Rescue Robotics held at Texas A & M, March 8 - 11, 2010, concurrently with the NIST Response Robot Evaluation Exercise #6. The 50 workshop participants represented sixteen universities in the USA, Japan, and China. Over a dozen land, marine, and aerial vehicles were tested at Disaster City. The workshop produced two recommendations for standards for unmanned ground vehicles, four for small unmanned aerial systems, and two for unmanned marine vehicles, as well as proposed four topics for human-robot interaction evaluation. The eight recommendations were presented at the ASTM meeting on March 12, 2010, although test methods have not been developed or proposed for each new topic. The participants also identified four new classes of standards: tethers, damage to the environment, victim management, and multi-robot coordination and collaboration. 2010 ACM.
