  1. The RoboCup-Rescue Project:A Robotic Approach to the Disaster Mitigation Problem Satoshi Tadokoro Hiroaki Kitano Kobe Univ. Sony CS Lab. The RoboCup-Rescue CommitteeThe RoboCup Federation 2000 IEEE Intl. Conf. On Robotics & Automation, San Francisco, April 27, 2000

  2. Earthquake Disaster • > 3 times/year Top 10 earthquakes in the 20th century

  3. Expected Contribution ofRobotics • Industrial Robot Contribution • Save workers from 3D jobs • Demanding, Dirty, Dangerous • Cost Reduction • Efficiency Improvement • Quality Improvement • Rescue Robot Contribution • …... (Kawasaki Heavy Industry Co.)

  4. RoboCup (Robot Soccer WorldCup) • Grand Challenge:“Autonomous humanoid team wins WorldCup championship until 2050.” • 35 countries3,000 researchers • Technology transfer for • Socially important problems • Future industries • Human welfare

  5. Soccer and Search & Rescue

  6. Dream of Robotics and AI If mighty robot heroes in SF and comics ….. (Mighty Atom, Osamu Tezuka) (Gundam)

  7. RoboCup-Rescue Objectives • From Simulation to Real Robots • Real-Time Decision Support by Simulation • Rescue Robots Development • Digitally Empowered Rescue Agents • Social Infrastructure for Safety A Grand Challenge of Robotics and AI

  8. Simulation Project

  9. Real-World Interface • Integration of Sensors and Machines Distributed in the city • Automated data collection of disaster • Integration of Social Infrastructures • Control and supervise disaster prevention activities

  10. Human Interface • Integration of Human and Virtual World • Digitally Empowered Rescue Agents • Wearable computer • Information augmentation • Advanced Emergency Response Center • Efficient decision making • Ubiquitous ER center function

  11. Behavior Planning Challenge • Complex Constraints • Incomplete information • Real-time decision • Numerous heterogeneous agents • Effect of logistics • Complex objectives • Life saving • Prevention of secondary disaster • Data collection • Long-tem / short-term Intelligence for Real-World Planning

  12. Simulator Advantages • Effect of agent activities Action Strategy • Mutual effect of primary/secondary disasters Accuracy • Distributed computation & open architecture Cost Effectiveness Rapid Development

  13. Social Contributions • Real-time disaster mitigation advancement • Worldwide standardization of emergency decision support in disasters • Control of infrastructure systems for disaster mitigation • Civilians’ optimal behavior in disasters • Training of emergency response

  14. Simulation Project Robotics &InfrastructureProject Integration Advanced Search & Rescue Operation Perspective Disaster Prevention Science Crisis Management Information Science Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Politics Civil Engineering Architecture
