Abstract

The RoboCup Rescue project aims to simulate large urban disasters and rescue agents´ activities. The simulator must support both simulation of heterogeneous agents such as fire fighters, victims´ behaviors and interface to disaster´s environments in the real world. The RoboCup Rescue simulator is a comprehensive urban disaster simulator into which a new disasters simulator or rescue agents can be easily plugged. In the paper, the simulator´s specification based on the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the simulator´s architecture are described
