Abstract(in English) In recent years, the demand for the use of robots in disaster sites has increased. In this paper, we propose and investigate a method to generate a local path in a disaster responding 4-limbed robot(WAREC - 1) under present circumstances in the presence of obstacles and debris. In this paper, we use a simulator to verify the proposed method in various environments assumed in a disaster site. Experiments showed that local paths suitable for disaster response robots can be generated even on roads where obstacles with difficulty describing their features exist.
