| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project focused on two themes which are necessary to develop "contact-less electric power station" for under-water robot working under sea water.
One is a method to improve the problems that center gap between transferring coil and receiving coil affects their coupling coefficient factor. We found a few optimum layouts of transferring coils and receiving coils, which enable power station to transfer electric power to the robot without fail, even if the robot land on the station in any direction.
Another is to provide new principle method for communication between the station and the robot. It is difficult to establish high speed wire-less communication scheme with electromagnetic wave due to electromagnetic characteristics of sea water. We developed a low speed communication method by using electric power converters and the transferring/receiving coils for system redundancy.
