Title
Development of rescue vest using ICT
Abstract
The DDT Project on rescue robots and related technologies in Japan developed many advanced devices related to robotics as countermeasure against earthquake disaster. The de- vices included robots, intelligent sensors, information equipment, and human interfaces that support emergency responses such as urban search and rescue, particularly victim search, information gathering, and communication. However, first responders had to wear gloves, and thus, it was difficult for first responders to dexterously operate the devices. In the training, robotics specialists who developed the devices operated by themselves just behind the firefighters. However, there is high possibility of secondary disaster in real situations. Therefore, it is not realistic for the robotics specialists to support technically in or near hazardous area. In this study, we propose a suit type tele-operated support system that achieves tele-operation of search and rescue support advanced devices using information and communication technology (ICT). We develop a prototype of the system called TCT rescue vest' and validate its effectiveness.
