| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have proposed a kite-based tethered flying robot based on a kite that flies with wind power as one of the natural power sources. It is supposed to be an information gathering system that compliments other ones based on a balloon or an airplane and has advantages of short setup time and long-term observation.
The flight unit of the robot is controlled with one tether line connected to a line-winding machine on the ground by winding or releasing the line. The robot has sensors that measure wind speeds around the flight unit, its body posture and location in the air. Real robot experiments and computational simulation are conducted to confirm that the Fuzzy-based controller takes the kite off from the ground autonomously and keeps it stationary in the air.
