Abstract
In the phases of mitigation, response and recovery of disaster, robots are needed for remote/automatic reconnaissance and task execution in inaccessible/dangerous area as agents of human. This paper presents proposed priority issues of disaster robotics for reducing risks, which were discussed at committees of NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) and COCN (Council on Competitiveness-Nippon).
