The disasters have occurred frequently in Japan. When conducting rescue activities at a disaster site, the risk of a secondary disaster can be reduced by navigating a rescue robot before the rescue team members and checking the situation at the disaster site. When performing rescue activities, the rescue robot applied to the installed manipulator to open/close valves and remove rubbles. At the disaster site, there are places where water is overflowing due to the rupture of pipes or damage to the tank. Waterproof is required to work in that area. Therefore, in this research, we designed and developed a manipulator with improved waterproof to be mounted on a rescue robot with a hydraulic actuator.
