It is based on the ImPACT Tough Robotics Challenge, a national project spearheaded by the Japan Cabinet Office that focuses on developing robotics technologies to aid in disaster response, recovery and preparedness. It presents six subprojects that involve robot platforms and several component technologies used in conjunction with robots: \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecyber rescue canines, which are digitally empowered rescue dogs; \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eserpent-like robots for searching debris; \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eserpent-like robots for plant\/infrastructure inspection; \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUAVs for gathering information on large areas struck by disaster; \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elegged robots for plant\/infrastructure inspection in risky places; and \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econstruction robots for recovery tasks that require both power and precision. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe book offers a valuablesource of information for researchers, engineers and practitioners in safety, security and rescue robotics, disaster robotics, and plant and infrastructure maintenance.
