Production of Crawler Robot with Sub Crawler and Verification of Traversing Ability

Abstract

A number of rescue robots for quick information gathering and safe rescue operations at the time of earthquake have been developed. Many robots adopt the crawler type. It is suitable for irregular terrain such as rubble and wasteland of the disaster site. In this paper, we focus on the traversing performance of robot functions required, and aim to be able to overcome the higher level difference by seeking the performance to overcome the step. We produce a robot equipped with sub crawlers and report the results of experiments.
