Goals

  • Goal 1: an integrated simulation environment to test and evaluate different strategies under diferent disaster scenarios.
  • Goal 2: test the integrated environment in real life application with heterogeneous agents.

Milestones

  • Milestone 1: Integrate Digital Elevation Map of Porto Alegre into the simulator; status (100%)
  • Milestone 2: Model different types of agents (UAVs, USVs, response team) into the simulator; status (80%)
  • Milestone 3: Integrate multi-agent framework into the simulation model; status (20%)
  • Milestone 4: Integrate alert framework into the simulation model; status (0%)
  • Milestone 5: Test flow alert –> planning –> agent action into the simulation model; status (10%)
  • Milestone 6: Model different disaster scenarios; status (0%)
  • Milestone 7: Field tests with different agents in using real robots under realistic scenarios; status (0%)
