abstract
Robot assisted medical reachback (RAMR) involves remote medical personnel conducting operator- and robot- mediated victim assessment in an urban search and rescue environment. A simulated medical reachback exercise was developed to examine RAMR. Key findings suggest it is critical for providers and operators to maintain a shared visual space for developing mental models and facilitating team coordination, Communication analysis across the RAMR task revealed that shared visual information was used approximately 50% of the time to facilitate the development of shared mental models, and again approximately 50% of the time to facilitate team coordination activities. Future efforts in this research domain must further investigate the use of shared visual information to facilitate shared mental models and team coordination. 2005 IEEE.
