Verification of Scenario for Robot-Assisted Fire-Fighting and Rescue Operations

This paper describes about activities for the cooperative exercise by Aichi Institute of Technology and Toyota city Fire Department in order to aim at the effective utilization of the disaster response robot in the search and rescue activities on fire. Cooperative exercise was conducted to verify the proposed scenario including some technical issues. One of the issues in this cooperative exercise was about effectiveness for the wired and wireless hybrid communication system in a concrete building. We discussed the results and lessons learned for the cooperative exercise based on proposed scenario with fire responders.
