ABSTRACT
In this paper we report on the analysis of critical incidents during
a robot urban search and rescue competition where critical incidents
are defined as a situation where the robot could potentially cause damage
to itself, the victim, or the environment. We look at the features present
in the human-robot interface that contributed to success in different
tasks needed in search and rescue and present guidelines for human-robot
interaction design.
