Development of information gathering system for disaster that can operate seamlessly both usual day and unusual day using small size UGV

Abstract

We have been developing a rescue robot system for sediment-related disasters using small size UGV. However, victims of disaster told us that the system is impractical if it can used only when disaster occurs. Therefore, we propose the system that can operate seamlessly both usual day and unusual day by implement the task given by human. In this paper, we think the case that we give task that “ patrol the field ”. Then we propose concept of the system and describe configuration of the robot. In addition, we report result of preliminary experiment whose autonomous mobile by learning of operating by human.
