Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) pose a significant challenge to emergency medical services by overwhelming available resources and personnel. Effective victim assessment is the key to minimizing casualties during such a crisis. We introduce ARTEMIS, an AI-driven Robotic Triage Labeling and Emergency Medical Information System, to aid first responders in MCI events. It leverages speech processing, natural language processing, and deep learning to help with acuity classification. This is deployed on a quadruped that performs victim localization and preliminary injury severity assessment. First responders access victim information through a Graphical User Interface that is updated in real-time. To validate our proposed algorithmic triage protocol, we used the Unitree Go1 quadruped. The robot identifies humans, interacts with them, gets vitals and information, and assigns an acuity label. Simulations of an MCI in software and a controlled environment outdoors were conducted. The system achieved a triage-level classification precision of over 74% on average and 99% for the most critical victims, i.e. level 1 acuity, outperforming state-of-the-art deep learning-based triage labeling systems. In this paper, we showcase the potential of human-robot interaction in assisting medical personnel in MCI events.
