Therefore, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary, we, the Rescon Executive Committee, are planning a Rescon renewal project based on our knowledge and experience without being satisfied with the current situation in the midst of technological progress and changing social conditions. increase. This project aims to "deepen the kindness to rescue and improve robot technology" for the development of the rescue system and the realization of the Rescue Philosophy.
