WK11331 New Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Usability of the Human-robot Interface for Robots for Urban Search and Rescue

The test method addresses the requirements for Urban Search and Rescue Personnel to maneuver the robot in open and confined spaces and operate payloads on the robot (cameras, manipulators, sensors, etc.) to successfully complete a series of navigation, sensing, and interaction test tasks after completing the training specified by the robot vendor. No such standard exists.
