<\/p>\nThe PI and dual-degree PhD student Jo\u00e3o Falc\u00e3o participated with the team led by co-PI Bob Iannucci\u00a0at the Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) events, promoted by US Naval Postgraduate School at Camp Roberts, CA in November 2016.\u00a0Following a ethics and IRB clearance process, they\u00a0conducted trials with 6 volunteer military personnel in drills aimed at testing and further develop the integration of VR technology with emergency communication systems developed by CMU-SV project \u201cCrossMobile\u201d and the UAV intelligent system experiment led by co-PI Bob Iannucci. Together they explored a concept of \u201cinstrumented emergency search&rescue scenario\u201d targeted for raise rescuer security and explore implicit communication between man and autonomous vehicles such as \u201cfollow-me drones\u201d or \u201csidekick robots\u201d. This concept line of R&D was part of the PI 4 months faculty exchange at CMU-SV and will be pursued during the remaining of the project.<\/p>\n
An example of the obtained integration is shown in the figure below. Two voluntaries’ ECG and other vitals’ data are integrated with drone position and video footage, showing the feasibility of the integration of physiology and UAV position and imaging.<\/p>\n
