From page 25...
... The system's design considerations would very likely include both staged rescue scenarios and real-world rescue efforts with actual rescue personnel. To provide the mobility necessary for such a system, the group proposed the design of a crawling robot composed of multiple modular sensor units.

... Group 2: Team Clean Moderator: Michael Beetz Group Member: Michael Beetz, Andreas Hofmann, Mark Neerincx, Liz Sonenberg Michael Beetz, the moderator, provided a summary of the group's dis cussions. Beetz indicated that the group focused its efforts on designing a home robotic cleaning team, "Team Clean," composed of multiple machines (e.g., humanoid robot, vacuum cleaner, small UAV to "map" the environment)

... As one component of the volcanic eruption disaster-management scenario, Padgham described the group's design of an information management system to provide basic services, such as communications, food, power, and water, in the first week following a major disaster. The system would not provide total coordination across the entire disaster management value chain, but rather would provide on-the-ground individuals with decision support.
