1A1-M01 Examination of Universal Transmission Method Using Refuge Action Support Robot For People Requiring Assistance During Disaster(Universal Design and Robotics & Mechatronics)

Abstract

Japan is a country of frequent earthquakes, and there are various problems for the protection against disasters. The disaster measures for the people who need help in disaster as foreign resident, person of advanced age and handicapped are one in the problem. This study addresses the application of the robot technology for the purpose of the transmission for the earthquake information intended for people who need help in disaster. The evacuation action support robot in disaster was proposed by adopting the real time earthquake information and the concept of universal design. Prototype robot was manufactured, and a questionnaire investigation conducted in this paper. As a result, t he attitude survey for the earthquake was possible
