We, a Carnegie Mellon University based team, are competing at the DARPA Triage Challenge (DTC)

Objective

Ensure scalable, timely, and accurate triage by developing noninvasive, remote detection methods for injury assessment

Challenge

Employ autonomous robots to identify and classify human injuries from a distance of 1-10 meters, without physical contact, to help medical responders perform timely, and accurate triage

Novel Technology

Measure physiological features using compact, multi-modal sensor packs. Assess injuries with devices like VIS/SWIR imaging, thermal cameras, radar, and motion-tracking LiDAR. Navigate challenging environments using autonomous robots equipped with SLAM for enhanced sensing and diagnostics.
