Abstract: | Recently, disasters such as earthquakes and so on occur at various places, and rescue operation using robots has attracted much attention. In this paper, we propose a new rescue robot with duplex mechanism that is realized by connecting two manipulators in parallel. We have demonstrated the validity and effectiveness of the proposed system by developing a prototype system. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008 |
