Robocup Rescue Simulation is an education and research project intended to promote the development of robotic agents for search and rescue. [1] The project was initiated in reaction to the Great Hanshin earthquake, which hit Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, on 17 January 1995, killing more than six thousand people, most of them in the city of Kobe.
The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution (阪神・淡路大震災記念 人と防災未来センター) is the earthquake disaster memorial museum that located in Chūō-ku, Kobe (HAT Kobe), Hyōgo Prefecture in Japan.
The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on January 17, 1995, at 05:46:53 JST in the southern part of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, including the region known as Hanshin.It measured 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum intensity of 7 on the JMA Seismic Intensity Scale (XI–XII on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale).

The 3-D Full-Scale Earthquake Testing Facility [1] or E-Defense (Japanese: E-ディフェンス) is an earthquake shaking table facility in Miki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. [2] Operated by the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), [ 3 ] it was the largest 3D earthquake shake table in the world ...
Nojima Fault (野島断層, Nojima Dansō) is a fault that was responsible for the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995 (Kobe Quake). [1] It cuts across Awaji Island , Japan and it is a branch of the Japan Median Tectonic Line which runs the length of the southern half of Honshu island. [ 2 ]
The Great Hanshin Earthquake on 17 January 1995 killed 6,434 people and destroyed over 100,000 buildings. The earthquake caused the greatest amount of damage and loss of life in Japan since the end of World War II.

This was the deadliest earthquake to strike Japan since the January 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, until the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake. This was also first time a snake robot was used at a natural disaster site. A Souryu serpentine robot was used in a house in Nagaoka City that was damaged during this earthquake. [9]
