Proposal of a Rescue Robot System in Nuclear-Power Plants– Rescue Activity via Small Vehicle Robots–

Abstract

We discuss a conceptual design of rescue robots against nuclear plant accidents. We claim that the rescue robots in nuclear plants should have the following properties. (1) The size is small. (2) The structure is simple. (3) The number of the robots is large. This paper studies the rescue robots to rescue people in an area polluted with radioactive leakage in nuclear power institutions. In particular, we propose the rescue system which using the group of small traction robots, set the posture of fainted victims to easy to carry, and carry them to the safety space with the mobile robot for the stretcher composition.
