Abstract

Fuel consumption in a vessel can be reduced by a hull cleaning which has been performed by the industrial robot. It is most important to attach safely and travel on the hull surface for a hull cleaning robot. In this study, therefore, we have developed a drive control system of the hull cleaning robot that enables a stable drive. In addition, operator's conveniences were reflected on the drive control system for comfort robot operation. Through a drive control experiments conducted at a hull test-bed, we demonstrated the drive control performance and conveniences of the developed drive control system.

선체 청소를 통해 선박에서 소비되는 연료량을 감소시킬 수 있으며 최근에는 이러한 작업을 산업용 로봇을 사용하여 수행한다. 선체를 청소하는 로봇에 있어서 안정적으로 선체에 부착되어 주행하는 것이 가장 중요하므로 본 연구에서는 안정적으로 선체 청소로봇을 구동할 수 있는 주행 제어시스템을 개발하였다. 이와 더불어 보다 편리하게 로봇을 운용할 수 있도록 주행 제어시스템에 작업자의 편의를 반영하여 주행 제어시스템을 구성하였다. 개발된 주행 제어시스템의 주행 제어성능과 편의성은 선체와 동일하게 제작된 구조물에서 실험을 통해 입증하였다.
