Rescue Robotics presents the most significant findings of the
DDT Project on robots and systems for urban search and rescue. This
project was launched by the Japanese government in 2002 with the
aim of applying a wide variety of robotics technologies to find a
solution to the problem of disaster response, especially urban
search and rescue in large-scale earthquakes.
From 2002 to 2007 more than 100 researchers took part in the DDT
Project, coming from a wide spectrum of research and development to
make up four research groups: Aerial Robot Systems MU (Mission
Unit), Information Infrastructure System MU, In-Rubble Robot System
MU, and On-Rubble Robot System MU. This book discusses their
development and testing of various robotic systems and technologies
such as serpentine robots, traced vehicles, intelligent human
interface and data processing, as well as analysing and verifying
the results of these experiments.
Rescue Robotics will be of interest to researchers and students,
but will also prove useful for emergency response personnel. It
offers an insight into the state of the art of rescue robotics and
its readers will benefit from a knowledge of the advanced
technologies involved in this field.
