| Research Abstract |
There are over than seventy million in humanitarian mines in the world and those mines prevent the economic growth of developing countries. thus, the mine removal becomes an emergency and a global problem. However, there are many victims by the removal work done now by human sea tactics and it is said that it will spend several hundreds years to remove all mines.
We think that a method using a walking robot it valid for the mine detection and the removal efficiently and stably in extreme environment. We can think a quadruped locomotion robot, however, we propose a mine detecting and removing method by a six-legged locomotion robot from the viewpoints of stability, mobility and multi-function.
This six-legged locomotion robot has some external sensors and includes autonomous and semi-autonomous
control method for avoiding obstacles.
It is very important for demining work that the robot places each leg avoiding the mines, precisely and keeping the stable attitude. And, a mine field is an uneven terrain, attitude control should be needed to keep the body attitude in constant. In this study, we discuss the attitude control for six-legged robot. First, three dimension model of demining six-legged robot COMET-I is built up on a CAD (DADS/Plant). The validity of this study method based on the CAD was verified by the studies of the quadruped robot TITAN-8. Next, we examine the attitude control.
In this study, we expand Sky Hook Suspention Control (SHSC) proposed by Yoneda et. For the attitude control of a quadruped robot into a six-legged locomotion robot. The validity of our proposed method is verified by the 3-D simulation.
