Abstract

Novel autonomous search and rescue systems, although powerful, still require a human decision-maker involvement. In this project, we focus on the human aspect of one such novel autonomous SAR system. Relying on the knowledge gained in a field study, as well as through the literature, we introduced several extensions to the system that allowed us to achieve a more user-centered interface. In the evaluation session with a rescue service specialist, we received positive feedback and defined potential directions for future work.
