Training platform for rescue robot operation and pair operations of multi-robots.

In this paper, we introduce a report on the situation at Fukushima and present two lessons that were learned involving: (1) multi-robot operation and (2) robot operation by workers. Workers with no prior experience with robots operated multi-robots in dynamically changing environments. We focus on the following two themes in multi-robot operations: (1) communication between operators and (2) pairing of operators. An experiment using a rescue robot operation training platform based on Unified System for Automation and Robot Simulation is shown, and the results of the experiment are discussed. We believe that these verify that the training platform is useful for recue robot operation. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
