Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims at unmanned exploration of caves and underwater caves that explorers and scientists have challenged. In order to localization of the robot, shape measurement and environmental map preparation are indispensable. In this research, we apply LRF/sonar measurement systems mounted on robots to caves/underwater caves, and demonstrated effectiveness by creating 3 dimensional models. The merits of unmanned exploration are not only improvement of safety, efficiency, precision. Underground caverns are preserved at the bottom of many vertical holes found on the surfaces of the Moon and the Mars. Overhead environments are surely confirmed under the ice surfaces of the Europa and the Enceladus. In the future, they can be element technologies for unmanned exploration of them.
