This paper presents a methodology for evaluating the performance of wall-climbing robots. In the literature on wall-climbing robots, there is little information on indices and evaluation methods for consistent and exact performance. Because various types of wall-climbing robots can be developed with regard to adherence and locomotion, a general method of measuring their performance regardless of type is needed. Therefore, we propose two major performance indices-the vertical adhering weight and vertical climbing speed-and their stepwise evaluation procedures. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we applied it to a hull-climbing robot that we previously developed. The target robot was evaluated to have a vertical adhering weight of 18.5 kg through a slip measurement procedure and a vertical climbing speed of 41 cm/s with a position control system.

A lot of research has been done on pipe climbing robots to investigate the aging pipe structures of nuclear power plants and petrochemical plants. Nevertheless, most of the research on pipe climbing robots focused on the structural design and foundational motion control of pipe climbing robots. So, For the operator to control the pipe climbing robot, it has many difficulties to climb the pipe and avoid obstacles by manual operation. In this paper, propose an algorithm that recognizes obstacle by using camera images of pipe climbing robots, estimates the distance between pipe climbing robots and obstacles, and determines the position where pipe climbing robots can catch pipes to avoid obstacles between pipes.

원자로의 원자로 해체 처리나 테러리스트의 폭탄 제거와 같은 극한 환경에서 작동하는 로봇은 계단이나 구덩이 같은 평평하지 알은 지형을 극복하기 위해서 off-load 능력이 필요하다. 극한 환경에서의 작업은 전형적으로 원격으로 조정되는 로봇을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 향상된 관절 트랙 구조의 로봇을 제안한다. 로봇이 계단에 접촉할 때론 고려해서 조이스틱으로 햅틱 동작을 위한 센싱 시스템이 제안된다. 추가적으로, 제안된 로봇이 계단을 등반하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.(중략)

바퀴구동형 로봇 메카니즘은 다양한 서비스 로봇에 활용되고 있는데, 이 로봇을 위하여 가장 기본적으로 요구되는 성능중의 하나는 등반능력과 관련된 구동모터의 사양을 결정하는 문제를 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 바퀴구동형 로봇 메카니즘의 등반능력을 고려하고, 경사면을 원활하게 주행하기 위한 필요조건을 제시하고자 한다. 결과적으로, 이러한 조건은 이동로봇 메카니즘의 설계에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

It is well-known that a kind of wheel drive mechanism is usefully employed in various service robots. One of the essential requirements for such robots is regarded as the capability of climbing that enables them to run on an inclined road smoothly. So, this paper considers the capability of climbing in a wheel drive robotic mechanism and proposes a necessary discriminating condition to determine the specification of a driving actuator which will be employed. Consequently, it is expected that the proposed discriminating condition can be applied to wheel drive robotic mechanisms in the design aspect.
