| Research Abstract |
The teleoperation of Articulated Body Mobile Robot KR-II is studied. The KR-II takes the form of seven linked articulated body of cylinder with the total length of 3.3m, height of 1m and weight of 320 kg. Each segment of the KR-II is equipped with 2 actuators for vertical bending motion of the connecting joints and an actuator for the wheels attached at the bottom of each segment. The force sensing system at the wheel to detect horizontal reaction force applied to wheels and control algorithm to introduce terrain adaptive locomotion on uneven ground based on the force information was developed last year. This year, the coordination control of the KR-II to make smooth steering control is studied by using multi-body dynamics software ADAMS. The developed steering control method is to minimize energy consumption and drive all the segments to smoothly follow the frontal segment on which the steering control command is given. The basic method for teleoperation of the KR-II by using micro CCD cameras is also investigated. The introduced steering method of the KR-II under teleoperation was verified by several steering experiment on outdoor uneven ground. One of the experiments was introduced by a TV program named " Heisei Fushigi Tankentai, or Expeditionary party of wander in Heisei era" on channel 10 of Asahi TV from 8 p.m. of March 2nd, 1993. In the TV program, the KR-II successfully demonstrated to move under teleoperation along a street of downtown and mail a letter in a mailbox by using manipulator of the front segment.
