Abstract
As for the robot used in a disaster and the terrorism spot, it can be steered remoteness from the safe area where were several hundred meter distant, but there are many cases that it acts with a rescue team, and supports various work from around. In such situation, it loses a unit power that member alone is cut only for the operation of the robot, and it is a problem on work efficiency. Therefore we have studied on a method using hand signals to steer the robot only with one hand so that one member could perform the operation of the robot and other work in parallel. In this study, we produced a cheap user interface to input hand signals, and investigated the optimum hand signals pattern by operating a robot in the virtual space with a software "Virtual Battle Space2" using serious game technology.
