Abstract :
Life-saving from collapsed buildings is the most important mission of disaster response robotics, but we have less knowledge about disorderly objects like collapsed houses - GAREKI. The authors propose the concept of GAREKI engineering and study the computer modeling and simulation system of GAREKI for defining GAREKI factors representing its features.
