Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have been developing a practical unmanned-ground-vehicle-type robot for volcanic observation, “HOMURA”, that carries out monitoring near active craters. Homura can obtain pictures of crater and data of sensors in real time with data communication of cellular phone. In this study, we newly did installation of volcanic gas sensors, improvement of softwares for HOMURA, and installation of a solar panel so that we more efficiently use HOMURA for a long time. We also carried out two test campaigns at a natural volcanic field (Kirishima-Iwoyama), and confirmed that HOMURA is stably operated and useful. We will continue volcanic observation by HOMURA.
