In this paper, we develop the information sharing system with mobile rescue robots in confined space. We use MISP to communicate among robots, the database system and visualization programs. In order to search the data effectively, we define two separated data types, SensedDatalnfo and SensedDataEntity. The experimental result shows our system can run in realtime.

The authors aim at development of a rescue crawler robot to search for victims in rubble environment. Crawler robot with flippers "Sinbad" was built for the purpose. The robot has 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) for getting over the rubble. However, it is too hard for an operator at the remote place to control these multi degrees of freedom. In this paper, the authors will explain our approach of AI based control support for the crawler robot with flippers. Especially, the authors will explain about our developed distributed touch sensors for the crawler robot, and propose a method of rollover avoidance based on the distributed touch sensor.

Ubiquitous Sensor-Network Systems make use of sensors which are located in various places or embedded in environments and connect them via wireless or wired network in order to collect data. The applications of Ubiquitous Sensor-Network Systems spread from logistics, environment monitoring, disaster mitigation, and medicines. In this paper, we propose applications of Ubiquitous Sensor-Network Systems in offices. We also discuss the issues still open to make them realize.
