Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed a flying and walking hybrid robot prototype and implemented 3D flying motion based on adaptive control. The flight and stability performance of the proposed hybrid robot and a typical drone was verified by simulation. Furthermore, we have developed anti-gravity motion based on the permanent magnet at the end effector of the robot leg. We verified that by applying vibration at the contact point between an end effector and the steel surface, the attractive forces can be reduced significantly. Finally, we have developed a new Virtual Reality interface that adaptively searches for the viewpoint of an open space and also warn the user when a robot will hit the obstacle.
