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

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.
