ABSTRACT
Knowing the up-to-date information about the emergency environment and collaboration between the central Health Service Center (HSC) and the mobile rescue team can be very useful in properly executing the rescue operations, especially in the case of elderly patients. In this paper, we present our live-feedback supported collaborative environment that consists of: autonomous mobile robot on elderly patient's home for knowing up-to-date information about the emergency place, a central communicating system at HSC to manage the overall rescue operation, and a mobile platform that enables the rescue team to collaborate with HSC and the robot at the emergency place in order to know accurately the current emergency situation. This whole setup enables the rescue team to perform the rescue operation more efficiently and effectively.

Indoor location systems in emergency scenarios: A Survey
SBSI '15: Proceedings of the annual conference on Brazilian Symposium on Information Systems: Information Systems: A Computer Socio-Technical Perspective - Volume 1Indoor location data are critical in emergency situations. Command centers need to monitor their operational forces. Rescuers need to find potential victims to carry proper care and the building's occupants need to find the way for fast evacuation. ...
Overtrust of Robots in Emergency Evacuation Scenarios
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot InteractionRobots have the potential to save lives in emergency scenarios, but could have an equally disastrous effect if participants overtrust them. To explore this concept, we performed an experiment where a participant interacts with a robot in a non-emergency ...
