Teleoperated robots are expected to perform tasks in extreme environments such as disaster sites. However, only few teleoperated robots are used for this purpose because their usability is poor compared to human skill in such tasks. Further, the use of human–machine interfaces used by teleoperated robots is in itself a human skill. In this study, we compare the skills of firefighters (experts) when using teleoperated robots and that of firefighters (novice) and analyze the results. Firefighters gain technical skills required for fighting fires from practical experiences; in comparison, novice firefighters have trouble acquiring these skills. We conducted a comparative experiment of the reconnaissance skills of firefighters in which ten firefighters (five novices and five experts) reconnoiter two simulated fire sites (one in a residential area and the other in a commercial facility area) with a teleoperated robot. The experimental results indicated that experts were more multifaceted in their evaluation of reconnaissance areas as compared to novices.

遥控机器人的消防技能分析

期望遥控机器人在极端环境（例如灾难现场）中执行任务。但是，只有很少的遥控机器人用于此目的，因为与此类任务中的人类技能相比，它们的可用性较差。此外，使用遥控机器人使用的人机界面本身就是一项人类技能。在这项研究中，我们比较了使用遥控机器人的消防员（专家）和消防员（新手）的技能，并分析了结果。消防员从实践中获得扑灭火灾所需的技术技能；相比之下，新手消防员很难掌握这些技能。我们对消防员的侦察技能进行了对比实验，其中十名消防员（五名新手和五名专家）使用遥控机器人在两个模拟的消防现场（一个在住宅区，另一个在商业设施区）侦察消防员。实验结果表明，与新手相比，专家对侦察区域的评估更加多元化。
