Research abstract
The next logical progression of the LIFELINE concept is to create a solution that allows for the autonomous extraction of casualties from the battlefield. This new system, "Autonomous Casualty Extraction (ACE)", autonomously detects and retrieves casualties on the battlefield, keeping critical Combat Medics at a safer stand-off distance, and transports casualties back to a LIFELINE-enable ground vehicle (e.g. Squad - Multipurpose Equipment Transport) so that the casualty or casualties can be evacuated from the area. ACE leverages RE2's human-like robotics arms, computer vision, and autonomy algorithms to provide an innovative, yet practical solution for casualty extraction.
