Abstract
The Junior High School Rescue Robot Challenge is an annual activity held
by Hiroshima University with the sponsorship of a construction machinery
company. Its 2020 theme was to convey injured people “tenderly” from the
top of a half-demolished building to ground. We developed shock sensitive
tiny dummy robot, controlled by M5Stack microcomputer since it rigged with
accelerometer. The remote (wired) controlled robots developed by junior
high school students conveyed the dummy and evaluated their performances
including “tenderness” of the robots using the dummy.
