Working with robots in disasters

Abstract

The Robot World Cup Initiative (RoboCup) is an international research and education initiative. It was started in order to foster artificial intelligence search. RoboCupRescue's domain is search and rescue operations in urban disasters. The RoboCup Rescue league consists of two projects: the simulation project and the robotics and infrastructure project. A multi-agent-based approach to disaster simulation provides many research themes and supports rescue operations in real situations. Simulation Project, not only agent implementation, but also the evaluation of the social agents' performance, the architecture of the distribution system, and the quality of communications, etc. The following features are important in this project to promote the research and provide verification methods.
