We aim at the development of rescue robots which have small-sized and achieve heavy-duty rescue operations. In this paper, we report the improvement of the rescue robots for practical use and the field experiment for verification of practical performances and evaluation of the improvement. First, we designed the case to caver the robots for waterproofing and protection against dust. And we improved the controller of the robots and made the controller box which realizes easy operations. Then we improved the crawler and cutter part of the Cutter Robot. Additionally, we evaluated these improvement points by field experiment on simulated fields of real disaster area. By the result, we proved the practical performances of these rescue robots.
