Abstract

The outdoor service robots which we call OSR-01 and OSR-02 are presently under development intended for cleaning up urban areas by means of collecting discarded trash such as plastic bottles, cans, plastic bags and so on. In this paper, we mainly describe the architecture of OSR-02 which consists of hardware such as sensors, a manipulator, crawler structure, etc. for searching and picking up trash. After describing the systems, we show the result of open experiments in which OSR-02 collected plastic bottles in the special zone for robot research and development in Kitakyushu-city
