高い不整地走破性を有する柔軟クローラ型災害用小型探査ロボット

抄録

When a severe natural disaster such as earthquakes occurs, numerous victims may be trapped under debris in vast areas. In the CURSOR project, we develop a search and rescue robot system to support first responders to make collect and rapid decisions. The system deploys many mobile robots to search inside the debris from aerial drones. However, it is challenging to move around on debris for such small robots, which can be carried and deployed by drones. Herein, we report the development of a search robot that loads mono-wheeled flexible tracks, previously proposed, which has a high capavility to overcome obstacles.
