This paper describes the development of some test methods for the robots utilized for nuclear disaster response and decommissioning tasks. From the experiences in the disaster response at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), we have learned the importances of the development of the robots and the improvement of the operation capability. In this paper, we describe the test methods for running performances of the robots that are fundamental functions for the tasks in the nuclear disaster response. As the typical examples, we describe the tests for the performance of running through the narrow passage, climbing up and down the stairs and running with dragging the cable.
