探索型レスキューロボットの災害現場対応操作コンソールの開発

Abstract

This paper presents a development of a operation console for our hand made search type rescue robot AIT. ReBo.1 intend to work in the disaster site. The operation console must have a human interface to control ReBo.1. Shape of developed human interface is ball type，about 60mm in diameter and about 200g in total weight. An operator of ReBo.1 holds this ball type human interface on his hand and he can tilt it to arbitrary angle，then ReBo.l makes progressive motion，side winding motion and stop motion with tilt angle of holed ball. Moreover，the pseudo-force of environmental conditions sensed by ReBo.1 are presented to an operator using vibration motor built in the ball.
