Robots Climbing Up and Down a Steep Stairs and Robots Retrieving Objects from High Places

摘要

We designed and fabricated robots with various mechanisms to solve the problems set in the Creative Robot Contest for Decommissioning. Robots with various mechanisms were designed and manufactured to solve the problems set by the Creative Robot Contest for Decommissioning. More specifically, a mechanism that can climb up the stairs robustly was realized by attaching claws to the crawlers to solve the problem of climbing up a steep staircase while carrying a heavy load. For the task of retrieving simulated fuel debris from a high location, we developed a mechanism to raise and lower the robot and a mechanism to retrieve simulated fuel debris without fail. Consequently, we realized the idea of robot technology required for decommissioning work and training human resources involved in decommissioning work.
