Abstract
The remote controlled type Rescue Robot has the Manipulator in order to discover victims. Some sensors are mounted on the tip of Manipulator in order to obtain information of victims. The Manipulator is used to search for victims in the place which Rescue Robot cannot get into, for example the place inside debris. If the tip of Manipulator is larger, it has a higher risk which hits debris. Therefore, it is important for the tip of Manipulator to be composed smaller. In the collapsed building, one of the method which an operator discovers victims by using Manipulator is to recognize their heats. Infrared cameras are often used at the purpose of recognizing thermo which victims have. However, the infrared camera is not optimum because it is large. Therefore, we developed the method in order to discover victims using smaller thermography module and distance sensor.
