Abstract :
In the Great Hanshin earthquake and Chu-etsu earthquake, many victims were crushed by rubble, and died by “crush syndrome”. Even the simple rescue method that removes the rubble, it could be a cause of death. As the only countermeasure, DMAT (=Disaster Medical Assistance Team) creeps into fallen houses, and treat dialysis or drip infusion. But these methods are very dangerous for victims and DMAT to treat amid the aftershocks. We think that Rescue Robot technique is just suitable solution for the dilemma under various and dangerous situations. We already built a prototype model of the Rescue Robot to prevent crush syndrome, so we present an outline of this Rescue Robot. We simulate the operation of this robot, and investigated the resulting liability to the parties of that robot. And indicate that problem and solution of existing disaster-related laws in Japan.
