CARMA aims to co-create, through a user-centred iterative methodology involving a complementary set of end-users and SSH experts,
a groundbreaking, modular and intuitive platform offering a complementary set of semi-autonomous and autonomous UGVs capable of
working in symbiosis with humans to support and supplement first responders and assist citizen in a wide range of disaster situations,
including those with very low visibility. The project will build on the most advanced research results, including those from the INTREPID
project, in the field of disaster robotics making them autonomous thanks to novel 3D radar-based environment mapping and analysis
combined with Artificial Intelligence for enhanced path and mission planning as well as victim and threat detection. Symbiotic operations
and natural robot/human interaction will be made possible by exploiting Generative Adversarial Networks for collaborative tasks,
Natural Language Processing, and eXtended Reality technologies. The project will evaluate the effectiveness and acceptance of the
proposed platform in the frame of four ambitious pilots in complementary operational environments. Coordinated by a large European
industrial leader in the crisis management market, the consortium includes world-class research centres in the domain of AI and Social
Robotics, robotics manufacturers, professional and volunteer first responders, as well as local authorities. It is complemented by an
international Advisory Board and an Open Community to ensure openness and diversity. Social, ethical and legal constraints will be
carefully considered during the project’s lifetime. In order to prepare the ground for broad adoption and successful exploitation of the
project’s results, CARMA will implement an ambitious communication and dissemination plan, an engaging training curriculum, and
produce a white book proposing recommendations for doctrine changes to involve the proposed solution in crisis management operations
