Abstract;In this note, we introduce Mobile Inspection Robot for rescue Activity : MOIRA. MOIRA has been designed as a robot which can go into debris in the disaster field. The most remarkable feature is the crawlers which are mounted on top and bottom of the body. Due to this structure, MOIRA can go into the debris. Next, we introduce a kind of shape-sensor named Flexible Sensor Tube. Using this FST, we can know the position of MOIRA under the debris. Then, we show a carrying system for MOIRA set. We called the system as BENKEI. (author abst.)
