In this paper, we present a wall climbing robot system, called “LARVA”, developed for visual inspection of structures with flat surfaces. The robot has two differential driving wheels with a suspension and an adhesion mechanism. The adhesion mechanism is composed of an impeller and two–layered suction seals. It is designed to provide sufficient adhesion force and be controlled so that the robot can move freely on various wall surfaces. The static and aerodynamic modeling of the adhesion mechanism is given and the analysis of the adhesion mechanism, air leakage, and inner flow are carried out to be useful for the design as well as the control. Finally, the performances of the robot are experimentally verified on several kinds of walls and its feasibility is validated. 相似文献

Task performed at a height, such as wall inspections are one of the dangerous tasks for humans. Thus, robotic technology for safety inspection is required. This research focuses on developing robots to climb vertical walls with flat and uneven surfaces, e.g. concrete, tile and riveted structure. To have wall-climbing capability, climbing robots use vacuum pads, claws, magnets, intermolecular force, and adhesive. However, each of these approaches has disadvantages. To achieve wall climbing on an uneven surface without scratching and staining, we have developed a novel vacuum pad named the Universal Vacuum Gripper (UVG), which is based on the Universal Gripper (UG). The UG is a robot hand using jamming transition of coffee powder inside a balloon to grip uneven material. The UVG is a vacuum pad with a deformable skirt based on the UG. If the skirt shape is deformed in accordance with the contact surface, air leaks can be avoided. Moreover, the deformed skirt can be stiffened, thereby working as a gripper. Here, we evaluate the proposed gripper, having both grasping and adhesion force. We also develop a wall-climbing robot with UVGs, and evaluate its performance on uneven surfaces under real-world conditions. 相似文献

This paper presents the design of a novel robot capable of climbing on vertical and rough surfaces, such as stucco walls. Termed CLIBO (claw inspired robot), the robot can remain in position for a long period of time. Such a capability offers important civilian and military advantages such as surveillance, observation, search and rescue and even for entertainment and games. The robot’s kinematics and motion, is a combination between mimicking a technique commonly used in rock climbing using four limbs to climb and a method used by cats to climb on trees with their claws. It uses four legs, each with four-degrees-of-freedom (4-DOF) and specially designed claws attached to each leg that enable it to maneuver itself up the wall and to move in any direction. At the tip of each leg is a gripping device made of 12 fishing hooks and aligned in such a way that each hook can move independently on the wall’s surface. This design has the advantage of not requiring a tail-like structure that would press against the surface to balance its weight. A locomotion algorithm was developed to provide the robot with an autonomous capability for climbing along the pre-designed route. The algorithm takes into account the kinematics of the robot and the contact forces applied on the foot pads. In addition, the design provides the robot with the ability to review its gripping strength in order to achieve and maintain a high degree of reliability in its attachment to the wall. An experimental robot was built to validate the model and its motion algorithm. Experiments demonstrate the high reliability of the special gripping device and the efficiency of the motion planning algorithm. 相似文献

In human living environments, it is often the case that the cleaning area is three-dimensional space such as a high-rise building. An autonomous cleaning robot is proposed so as to move on all floors including stairs in a building. When a robot cleans in three-dimensional space, it needs to turn for direction in addition to climb down stairs. The proposed robot selects movement using legs or wheels depending on stairs or flat surfaces. In this paper, a mobile mechanism and a control method are described for translational locomotion. The translational mechanism is based on using two-wheel-drive type omni-directional mobile mechanism. To recognize a stair using the position-sensitive detector, the robot shifts from translational locomotion to climbing down motion or edge-following motion. It is shown that the proposed robot turns to face a stair with the accuracy of 5°. 相似文献

Acquisition of Weld Seam Dimensional Position Information for Arc Welding Robot Based on Vision Computing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recognition and identification of weld environment and seam dimensional position by computer vision is a key technology for developing advanced autonomous welding robot. Aiming at requirements for recognition of weld seam image characteristics, this paper first presents an improved algorithm of subpixel edge detection based on Zernike moments. Comparing with the Ghosal’s original algorithm, the improved algorithm deals with mask effect and first derivative model on edge gradient direction so that it has the strong robust to noise, self-thinning ability and higher locating precision. An algorithm based on ZMs to extract line is also proposed, the comparative results with SHT and RHT show the method has the highest calculation speed and accuracy. The stereovision technology is developed to identify dimensional position of weld seam by computing dimensional coordinates of the weld seam. According to characteristics of weld seam, view field scope model and stereovision model based on baseline are studied and a stereo matching method is presented. In order to evaluate the algorithms and models presented in this paper, a welding robot systems with single camera fixed on the weld torch end-effector has been established for the robot to identify the dimensional position of typical weld seam by one-item and two-position method. The experiment results on S-shape and saddle-shape weld seams show that the vision computing method developed in this paper can be used for acquiring weld seam dimensional position information in welding robot system. Thus the welding path is mapped before the welding operation is executed. 相似文献

In this paper, a general study on improving adaptability of quadruped walking and climbing robot in complex environment is presented. First, a sensing system composed of range and gyroscope sensors in a novel arrangement is developed. By combining the sensing signals and the internal state of the robot, the surface geometry of the environment is sufficiently reconstructed in real-time. Secondly, a planning algorithm for the robot to overcome the reconstructed environment is conducted. Based on the reshaped surface, the planning algorithm not only provides the exact body trajectory and foot positions but also the adaptability of the robot in a specific environment. A method to improve the adaptability of the walking and climbing robot is also introduced. Thanks to the adherent ability of the robot, the center of gravity of the robot is allowed to move outside the support polygon to increase the reach-ability of the next swing leg. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by the performances of the experiments in complex environments using a quadruped walking and climbing robot named MRWALLSPECT IV. 相似文献

Legged robots are an efficient alternative for navigation in challenging terrain. In this paper we describe Weaver, a six‐legged robot that is designed to perform autonomous navigation in unstructured terrain. It uses stereo vision and proprioceptive sensing based terrain perception for adaptive control while using visual‐inertial odometry for autonomous waypoint‐based navigation. Terrain perception generates a minimal representation of the traversed environment in terms of roughness and step height. This reduces the complexity of the terrain model significantly, enabling the robot to feed back information about the environment into its controller. Furthermore, we combine exteroceptive and proprioceptive sensing to enhance the terrain perception capabilities, especially in situations in which the stereo camera is not able to generate an accurate representation of the environment. The adaptation approach described also exploits the unique properties of legged robots by adapting the virtual stiffness, stride frequency, and stride height. Weaver's unique leg design with five joints per leg improves locomotion on high gradient slopes, and this novel configuration is further analyzed. Using these approaches, we present an experimental evaluation of this fully self‐contained hexapod performing autonomous navigation on a multiterrain testbed and in outdoor terrain. 相似文献

Robust climbing in unstructured environments has been one of the long-standing challenges in robotics research. Among others, the control of large adhesion forces is still an important problem that significantly restricts the locomotion performance of climbing robots. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a novel approach to autonomous robot climbing which makes use of hot melt adhesion (HMA). The HMA material is known as an economical solution to achieve large adhesion forces, which can be varied by controlling the material temperature. For locomotion on both inclined and vertical walls, this paper investigates the basic characteristics of HMA material, and proposes a design and control of a climbing robot that uses the HMA material for attaching and detaching its body to the environment. The robot is equipped with servomotors and thermal control units to actively vary the temperature of the material, and the coordination of these components enables the robot to walk against the gravitational forces even with a relatively large body weight. A real-world platform is used to demonstrate locomotion on a vertical wall, and the experimental result shows the feasibility and overall performances of this approach. 相似文献

The maintenance and inspection of large vertical structures with autonomous systems is still an unsolved problem. A large number of different robots exist which are able to navigate on buildings, ship hulls or other human-made structures. But, most of these systems are limited to special situations or applications. This paper deals with different locomotion and adhesion methods for climbing robots and presents characteristics, challenges and applications for these systems. Based on a given set of requirements these principles are examined and in terms of a comprehensive state-of-the-art more than hundred climbing robots are presented. Finally, this schematics is applied to design aspects of a wall-climbing robot which should be able to inspect large concrete buildings. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel approach to modeling curiosity in a mobile robot, which is useful for monitoring and adaptive data collection tasks, especially in the context of long term autonomous missions where pre-programmed missions are likely to have limited utility. We use a realtime topic modeling technique to build a semantic perception model of the environment, using which, we plan a path through the locations in the world with high semantic information content. The life-long learning behavior of the proposed perception model makes it suitable for long-term exploration missions. We validate the approach using simulated exploration experiments using aerial and underwater data, and demonstrate an implementation on the Aqua underwater robot in a variety of scenarios. We find that the proposed exploration paths that are biased towards locations with high topic perplexity, produce better terrain models with high discriminative power. Moreover, we show that the proposed algorithm implemented on Aqua robot is able to do tasks such as coral reef inspection, diver following, and sea floor exploration, without any prior training or preparation. 相似文献
