**[OBJECTIVE of the IARP WG -- Euron SIG RISE]{.underline}**

a.  Define the Risky Interventions where RS (Robotics Systems) could
    improve the efficacy of Intervention Services (Fire-fighting, Civil
    Protection, IEDD, Police, etc)

b.  Update the State-of-the --art. For each type of intervention:
    requirements, existing programmes, repertory of existing Robotics
    systems

c.  Exchange of information through an active 'network of RISE members'
    and possible launching of projects.

d.  Organisation of an annual IARP/EURON-P Workshop RISE'2xxx (RISE'2008
    in Spain, RISE'2009 in Belgium, RISE'2010 in the UK, \....)

e.  Organisation of Demonstrations (from 2009 on -- could be in
    cooperation with ELROB series)

f.  Development of a continuously updated [IOC-RRSI]{.underline}
    (International Open Curriculum for Robotics use by Risky and
    Surveillance Interventions

**[WORK-PLAN]{.underline}**

**Action 1**. Call for interest and constitution of the IARP working
group and later on a Euron SIG RISE: **CURRENT**

**Action 2**. Study of the interactions between RISE, HUDEM and SSRR
(Norman, Yvan) and planning of coordinated workshops and activities (by
next 27^th^ IARP JCF)

**Action 3**. Design of a RISE Internet site (possibly including the
HUDEM and SSRR\* facets (sub-sites) (draft by 27^th^ IARP JCF- 2008)

**Action 4**. Formal approvement of the WG RISE and WG objectives by
IARP-JCF and nomination of a WG Chairman.(Y.Baudoin confirmed till 2010
): **DONE**

**Action 5**. Definition of work-packages related to the objectives and
the RISE/HUDEM/SSRR interfaces (Yvan, proposal by 27^th^ IARP JCF-2008)

**Action 6**. IARP/EURON WS RISE'2008 (7-8 January -- Spain): **DONE**

-   SSRR (Security, Safety, Rescue, Reconnaissance; HUDEM (Humanitarian
    de-mining)
