Abstract
Disaster sites often put rescue workers in danger. While many universities and companies are researching how to develop rescue robots, their efforts are not always as practical as needed. Therefore, this research conducted a survey of rescue workers in order to determine exactly what they need their robots to do. And I performed development of practical robot in use. In order to develop successful products, it is essential to ask: "Who are customers?" "What do they want?" and "How can we implement their requirements in our product?". It is necessary to find proper system configuration at early design stage. We employed the 1DCAE design support tool which can be used in upstream as well as in downstream design. As a result, this rescue robot system got praise from rescue workers. This paper introduces design process using needs analysis and 1DCAE. In addition, propose this process for helping MOT.
