Information Sharing and Integration Framework Among Rescue Robots/Information Systems

  • Chapter
Rescue Robotics

Abstract

A framework for information sharing among robots/information systems for disaster mitigation is proposed. Gathering and sharing disaster information about damaged areas is the top-priority mission to support decision making in rescue processes. We are designing a standard protocol (MISP) and implementing a simple database system (DaRuMa) for this purpose. In order to utilize these facilities, we are also designing a standard format of sensed data collected by rescue robots and time representation to denote uncertain/ambiguous time periods, both of which form the essential core of rescue information sharing. We show the flexibilities and openness of the proposed framework and representation by several integration experiments with robotics, information, and communication technologies.
