本文的目的是介绍欧洲“夏尔巴”项目的预期研究活动，该项目的活动将于2013年2月1日正式开始。夏尔巴的目标是开发一种地面和空中混合机器人平台，以支持在现实世界恶劣环境中的搜索和救援活动，比如该项目专门针对的阿尔卑斯山情景。展望技术平台和高山救援场景，我们计划解决一些关于认知和控制的研究课题。从科学的角度来看，使该项目潜在非常丰富的是夏尔巴系统的不同参与者所拥有的异质性和能力：人类救援人员是“忙碌的天才”，与地面车辆、“聪明的驴子”以及空中平台，即“训练有素的黄蜂”和“巡逻的鹰”一起工作。事实上，研究活动的重点是“忙碌的天才”和“夏尔巴动物”如何以各自的特点和能力相互互动和合作，以实现共同的目标。
The goal of the paper is to present the foreseen research activity of the European project “SHERPA” whose activities will start officially on February 1th 2013. The goal of SHERPA is to develop a mixed ground and aerial robotic platform to support search and rescue activities in a real-world hostile environment, like the alpine scenario that is specifically targeted in the project. Looking into the technological platform and the alpine rescuing scenario, we plan to address a number of research topics about cognition and control. What makes the project potentially very rich from a scientific viewpoint is the heterogeneity and the capabilities to be owned by the different actors of the SHERPA system: the human rescuer is the “busy genius”, working in team with the ground vehicle, as the “intelligent donkey”, and with the aerial platforms, i.e. the “trained wasps” and “patrolling hawks”. Indeed, the research activity focuses on how the “busy genius” and the “SHERPA animals” interact and collaborate with each other, with their own features and capabilities, toward the achievement of a common goal.
