Junior High School Rescue Robot Challenge using Shock Sensitive Tiny Dummy Robot

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.
