Abstract
Robotic systems were used for responses to the Great East-Japan Earthquake. ROVs were used for victim search and port inspection in Minami-Sanriku Town and Rikuzen Takada City. An UGV called Quince was applied in Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant for radioactivity monitoring and dust sampling at the 2nd & 3rd floor in the second reactor building, and for installation of water level meter and water sampling at the B1 floor. This presentation introduces major robotic activities there, and considers future challenges to be studied.
