Intrepid
A novel, user-friendly platform will be developed, utilizing augmented reality and the use of robots to enhance the speed and effectiveness of first responders' intervention in complex or dangerous areas where a disaster has occurred. This will revolutionize emergency response teams' interventions in the early stages of a disaster when the chances of saving lives are highest.
For this purpose, INTREPID is composed of a coordinated team of 4 world-class research organizations, 5 leading SMEs in Europe, and a set of 7 first responder organizations from different fields.

| Summary |
INTREPID will develop a groundbreaking, user-friendly platform that utilizes augmented reality, along with ground robots and drones, to enhance the speed and effectiveness of first responders' interventions in a disaster. This will revolutionize emergency response interventions in the initial phases of a disaster, when the chances of saving lives are highest. To achieve this, INTREPID consists of a coordinated team comprising 4 world-class research organizations, 5 leading SMEs in Europe, and a consortium of 7 first responder organizations from various disaster response domains. The objective of INTREPID is to create a unique platform that integrates the concepts of Intelligence Amplification and Augmented Reality, with Intelligent Cybernetic Assistants (Drones and ground robots), to enhance and expedite the analysis and assessment of disaster sites. The project will validate its effectiveness through interactive and complementary pilots in Stockholm, Marseille, and Madrid. Being the first to arrive at the scene, first responders can immediately initiate their interventions without having to wait for specialized teams or for the area to be fully secured. By the time these teams arrive, emergency services have already used INTREPID to provide them with reliable information about the location, enabling effective assistance. The result is an immediate and selective response that allows for faster, more effective, and safer interventions. |
