This paper describes about design of additional extended functions of a robotic simulator system. After the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Stations, many remotely operated robots are being deployed. For realizing efficient task execution, we are developing a robotic simulator system to contribute to design the robots and train the operators. Currently, we are implementing additional simulation functions of physical behavior of the multi-copter and dose visualization by the gamma camera. For the simulation of multi-copter, aspiration effect and attracted effect depending on the working environment are added as unstable factors for remote operation in the indoor environment like the inside of the reactor buildings. For gamma camera simulation, pre-calculated air radiation dose data can be imported to the simulator. Also, the resolution of the gamma camera and the color contour expression can be selected for visualization depending on the specification of the camera.
