Abstract
As firefighting situations are urgent, the demand of firefighting robots communicating with a human in a natural language is increasing as it is efficient in that there is no need an commander to get trained for operating a controller. However, when communicating with a human in a natural language, there is an issue regarding security; firefighting robots are supposed to operate according to commands by an authorized commander, it is difficult that firefighting robots verify authentication with a human voice. However, it is still important to keep the communication between a human (a commander, not an adversary) and a firefighting robot secure due to any potential situation of a person setting fire on purpose and wanting to hinder firefighting tasks. Thus, I am currently researching to realize a secure and accurate communication in a human language.
