Abstract
We developed a remote-controlled system which enabled us to effectively control remote construction machinery such as a backhoe shovel, wheel dump and bulldozer using video images at a safe distance and in a comfortable environment. We used this system for one year at Mt. Fugen, an active volcano in Shimabara City of Nagasaki Prefecture, which is known for the disaster in which a large scale pyroclastic eruption killed many people
