In-Rubble Robot System for USAR under Debris

This note introduces the activities of our research group called In-Rubble Robot System Mission Unit in DDT Project. The mission of our mission unit (MU) is to develop effective searching systems which can search the victims under the debris. The main activities of our MU are the following four items. 1) Development of advanced searching system based on IRS-SORYU. 2) Development of advanced tools. For example, the jack-up robot, the cutter robot, multi-sensor Bo-Came, the Kuru-Kuru-3, etc. al. 3) Development of the carrier of the rescue systems. The carrier is named BENKEI 2. 4) Consideration of human-machine interfaces
