Development of Automated Shoreline Surveying System Using Amphibious Walking Robot - The Design Concepts and the 1st Field Experiment -

Abstract

One of the main work is survey work at shoreline in port areas. For instance, harbor-masters survey shorelines to maintain encroached beach, and some work are carried out on weak terrain. Consequently, the primary working force is still human-intensive although the mechanization is desired from viewpoint of the efficiency.
