<div class=""abs_img""><img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00260004/06.JPG"" width=""300"" />Deep-seated landslide site</span></div> In anti-disaster robotics, it is important to identify problems specific to a target disaster and examine what technological problems remain in the identified problems. In this paper, the results of a survey on a disaster caused by torrential rains that occurred on the Kii Peninsula, Japan and of a study on the existing technological problems of robots are presented. </span>
