Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to design and develop a distributed artificial intelligence disaster mitigation system that assumes adverse conditions during a disaster.
We tackled issues such as restoration of communication channels using robots, evacuation guidance, and discovery of people requiring rescue.
In particular, for robot-based evacuation guidance, we devised an evacuation guidance method that uses the TurtleBot2 traveling robot that is capable of autonomous movement using SLAM technology. As a result, compared to evacuation guidance that does not use robots, quick evacuation and reduction of human damage due to secondary disasters such as fires could be achieved.
