Task T1
Traversing Obstacles

Task T2
Vehicle Inspection

Task T3
Vehicle Inspection using Tools and Rescue

Task T4
Secure the Route

Task T5
Fire Extinguish

Task T6
Shoring and Breaching

Task T1
Traversing Obstacles

Traverse uneven terrain and narrow space.

Challenges
Mobility of the heavy work robot in the condition with the obstacles


Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Task T2
Vehicle Inspection

Inspect inside and outside of vehicle and surroundings (tunnel)

Challenges
Visual inspection of the "targets" in complicated narrow dark space.


Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Task T3
Vehicle Inspection using Tools and Rescue

Inspect inside the vehicle by using tools and rescue the victim.

Challenges
Use tools for human with large reaction force. Manipulation of human body.


Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Task T4
Secure the Route

Remove the obstacles on the specified route by pushing/pulling/carrying them.

Challenges
Manipulation of L-shape obstacles of which center of gravity is unknown.


Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Task T5
Fire Extinguish

Extinguishing fire by using the extinguisher installed in the tunnel.

Challenges
Capability for the variety of fire extinguishing tasks(manipulate hose as a flexible object, connection of nozzle and hose, etc.). Capability for the reaction force of water spray.


Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Task T6
Shoring and Breaching

Investigate a car under rubbles and rescue the victim in the car with shoring and breaching.

Challenges
Comprehensive disaster response capability (use tool for human with large reaction force, narrow space search, manipulation of human body).


Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

The Tunnel Disaster Response and Recovery Challenge is a simulation competition. The simulator Choreonoid will be used as the simulation platform. Please find details of WRS version Choreonoid by visiting the next URL.
