| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This year, we have further a development of ATA mechanic with two publications
Firstly, we developed a novel concept of an Inverted Docking Station that allows ATA robot to attach to the ceiling during the automatic battery-swapping process. The proposed design consist of a docking station, a positioning system and gripper mechanisms. The proposed design allows the quadrotor to carry the load under the quadrotor and remain attached throughout the servicing period.
Secondly, We extend ATA robot ability for fire fighting application by adding a two-step release mechanism that can precisely drop a blanket onto a target location using the advantage of wind load, avoiding the ground effect. We tested our system with UAVs in an outdoor environment.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
We are able to further the development of ATA robot and system. However, due to Covid-19, we are not able to perform the experiment abroad as plan. We are planing to do an experiment at local cave in Japan and later, try to do experiment abraod by the end of this year.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
We would like to combine all ATA mechanic, ATA sensing and ATA control within this year so that we can test robot at cave abroad as plan.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Due to Covid-19, we can not go to perform experiment abroad as plan. We plan to go this year.
