Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Automatic running vehicle system and tether-suspended tool have been developed for working robot system in a large area to reduce human work load. In this study, I aimed to construct a foundation of far-reach tethered working robot tool by improving the conventional working robot system in a large area. The proposed working robot tool can conduct traveling or work in a wide range and perform various works. I tackled this issue by focusing on multiple mobile cranes for traveling and a parallel manipulator using multi-tether drive system for work. My main achievements were twofold: 1) I developed the prototype of far-reach tethered working robot tool by an end-effector controlled by two tethers stretched in loop shape between two mobile cranes. 2) I verified the validity of a grass cutter system that is one of the applications of far-reach tethered working robot tool.
