一群日本研究人员开发了一种新的概念构建机器人,用于救灾情况。该机器人具有双重挥杆双臂机构,与传统的施工机相比,可操作性和活动性大大提高。
在灾难地区,运作重量construction设备远程和自主是必要的,但是传统的遥控重型设备存在不足的可操作性,无法执行重型工作,斜坡和楼梯上的活动有限,并且由于遥远控制困难而进行的工作效率低。因此,寻求解决此类问题的基本解决方案。
作为通过破坏性技术计划(Impact)的艰难机器人技术挑战计划的冲动范式挑战的一部分,大阪大学,科比大学,东北大学,东京大学,东京大学和东京技术学院的研究人员应对这些挑战。
This group of researchers attempts to solve these challenges by developing aprototype robotwith a double swing dual arm mechanism and hydraulic-powered robotic hands. Using this robot, this group aims for discontinuous innovation; they try to drastically increase the efficiency of work and movement through the dual arm robot capable of handling heavy objects and by excavating and gripping with its high-powered hands. Specifically, this robot has the following functions.
1. A double swing dual arm mechanism capable of performing heavy work with high operability and terrain adaptability (smooth mobility on slopes and stairs).
在该机器人的双重双臂机构中,其左右臂以及肩膀的旋转部分处于同一轴上。因此,与人类和动物相比,机器人可以在旋转部分使用直径较大的轴承,而人类和动物的肩膀关节被排列在不同的轴上。
Also, these arms are supported close to the robot’s center of gravity, providing the robot with a high degree of stability. This structure allows the robot to withstand high loads and perform heavy-duty work. Additionally, since each coaxially-arranged arm rotates at 360 degrees, there is no distinction between right and left hands, which allows the user to freely change the layout of the robot’s hands.
2.施工机器人的多指手
This group has developed a 4-fingered hand for use with construction robots and has equipped it to one of the robot’s arms. The operating modes—excavation and grip—can be selected by changing the hand’s shape. It is also possible to change the hand according to the shape of objects and control a wide range of grip strength.
3.增强遥控器的基本技术
这个机器人有能力允许远程operator to precisely control the robot with the senses of force and touch as if he/she is actually touching the target object. This robot is equipped with a multi-rotor unmanned aircraft vehicle UAV (“drone”) with power supply through electric lines, which allows the operator to view objects and terrain from different viewpoints without a robot-mounted camera. This robot also has a bird’s-eye view image composition system. These functions make the robot’s precise tasks and movement over intricate terrain easy.
该小组的研究人员认为,这些功能将大大提高建筑设备应对大规模灾难和事故的能力,并认为使用该机器人更换常规建筑设备可能会大大改变土木工程和建筑方法。研究人员旨在实现这一实用机器人to disaster relief situations within a few years through future improvement, integration with basic technology, and performance limit tests.
