Simulation Platform for Performance Test for Robots and Human Operations

In this paper, we propose a simulation platform for the performance testing of robots and human operations. Robots have been used in disaster scenarios, where the environment is unstable. Human operators may have no prior experience in dealing with such dynamically changing environments, which may also be unstable for robotic tasks. To develop rescue robots, disaster situation emulation and human-in-loop test platform are required in addition to robot simulators. The proposed platform is used to design, develop robots and to conduct drills for robot operations, and to carry out experiments. And the results of experiments are presented.
