Abstract
Though safety is the most important issue in rescue operation, it is not actively investigated in rescue robot development. In this paper, the development of an operating board for a rescue robot is discussed in the view point of safety, where misuse of operator and uncertainty of the rescue environment is considered. The operating board with three position switches is developed in order to reduce the risk caused by disturbance in rescue site. The effectiveness is evaluated experimentally.
