The thesis research aimed to further the study of human-robot interaction (HRI) issues, especially regarding the development of rescue robot. The paper firstly discussed the status of the rescue robot and described the framework of human-robot interaction of search-rescue robot and rescue-evacuation robot. Subsequently, the general HRI issues will be discussed to explain how they affect the use of robots. Finally, we present suggested this multidisciplinary field of research, namely human-robot interaction, requires contributions from a variety of research fields such as robotics, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence.

Each year, according to Chinese and European statistics, there are many serious injuries and even fatalities of travelers into subway transit stations. Consequently, it becomes more and more important for transit authorities to evaluate these facilities (platform, gates, stairs, escalators, etc.) under critical traffic conditions, such as rush hours or emergency situations. The purpose of this paper is to review existing research results, develop the main Framework of station capacity assessment and finally point out the key issues of subway station capacity assessment.
