This paper discusses the development of a model for an underwater glider robot equipped with multiple buoyancy controllers aimed at environmental surveying of lakes. Primary target of the model is performing 2D simulation of actual gliding that will lead to control system development. This proves to…
To reduce the risk of radiation leakages similar to the incident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, robots have been employed to remove fuel debris from reactors. To perform this process safely, it is important to monitor the interior of a reactor. A camera and neutron sensors are attac…
The ongoing development of the Inverted PENdulum Type Assistant Robot (I-PENTAR) is being undertaken by the authors. The I-PENTAR has many tasks like lifting objects with unknown mass, pushing and pulling a carts and many more. During execution of these tasks unknown disturbances enter the system an…
Applying differential drive robots to cooperative systems introduces difficulties regarding the maneuverability of the cooperative system. These difficulties are caused by the sliding constraint of the plain wheels typically used by differential drive robots and mainly affects the turning capability…
