Hurricane Isabelle caused havoc all the way up the U.S. eastern
coastline in September, 2003. It became a tropical storm when it
hit Bowleys Quarters, Maryland. Eight-year-old Emily and her mom,
residents of Bowleys Quarters, lived right on the waters of Frog
Mortar Creek. Together with their neighbor, Toad, they faced the
storm as it ravaged their home and community. Isabelle and her mom
found out how very quickly their lives were turned upside down in a
single night. They had to persevere and try to find the necessary
resources to bring some sense of normalcy back into their lives
This publication describes how robot innovations are adopted during
a disaster using the COVID-19 response, both as a natural
experiment and a case study. While the reports do not provide full
details to ascertain gaps in specific algorithms or specific
subsystems, the size and the pervasiveness of the data permits
examination of three questions, namely: how the need for a robot
arises during a disaster; whether those needs are met with existing
technically mature robots, adapting existing robots, or innovating
new robots; and what are the major barriers to inserting robots
into use during a disaster. The analysis utilizes a novel formal
framework consisting of a sociotechnical work domain analysis, an
extended demand analysis, and a rating of the technical maturity of
each instance using the NASA Technical Readiness Assessment (TRA)
ranking. Also covered are related works in modeling the adoption of
robots and prior summative of the use of robots for the coronavirus
pandemic, as well as a novel framework for analysis is discussed in
detail. An analysis is also made of all Heritage systems,
Engineering systems, and New systems. The paper concludes with
findings for disaster robotics, then uses the model of adoption to
make four recommendations for roboticists interested in developing
and deploying technology for a disaster. This publication provides
an in-depth overview and practical examples of how robots can be
deployed during a disaster. As such it should prove useful for
roboticists, researchers in various fields related to robotics as
well as industry professionals who are responsible for saving lives
and mitigating societal impacts in times of disaster.
