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.
ユビキタス・センサネットワークシステムは,各所に配置したり,環境に埋め込んだ複数のセンサを有線や無線のネットワークで繋いだセンサ網からデータを収集し活用する仕組みである.物流分野を始めとし,環境分野や防災分野,医療分野などへもセンサネットワーク応用が進められている.本論文ではセンサネットワークを活用したオフィスで応用を想定し,具体的なアプリケーションを提案しそれを実現するための課題について述べる.
