Intelligenza Artificiale e “Rescue” Dopo il terremoto di Kobe nel 1995 il Giappone ha avviato un programma di ricerca per lo studio di tutte le tecnologie per facilitare il recupero delle vittime in caso di gravi disastri ROBOCUP Rescue

Kobe Earthquake (Jan. 17, 1995) Magnitude 7.2 Serious Damage Region 20 x 1 km (13 x 0.6 mi) People seriously effected: 2,300,000 Deaths: 6,432 ++Seriously Injured: 43, Buildings Damaged: 530,000 fully destroyed: 104,906, fully burnt: 6,148, half destroyed: 144,272 Fire: 285 large scale: 14 (>10,000m 2 (3600 mi 2 )) Direct Damage: 10 trillion yen (100 billion US$) Kobe, 1995

Current status on rescue research Very weak in disaster rescue simulation.. Almost none. Disaster simulation exists, but not integrated. There are few specific simulation such as fire proliferation, but not integrated with other aspects nor interactive.
