We have developed various search and rescue robots, such as a series of Utility Mobile Robot for Search (UMRS). This paper is described about specification of UMRS-2009 and its control interface to reduce the operator's load. The UMRS-2009 is a crawler type robot with flipper arms and is able to carrying a manipulator unit for door-knob opening. The control interface provides semi-autonomously functions of stairs or step climbing up/down and compensation of going-straight to drive easily in confined space. The efficiency of control interface is verified by some experiments.
