Abstract

IntroductionA newly developed camera arm system mounted on a remoteoperation robot for disaster-site survey is presented.The Great East-Japan Earthquake in 2011 has caused a serious nuclear disaster at FUKUSHIMA in Japan.For information-gathering purpose, our remote operation robot,Quincespecialized for this disaster [Koyanagi2013], has been used frequently at the high-radiation inside of the collapsed reactor buildings [TEPCO2014].PackBot [Trainer 2014][Yamauchi 2004], one of the most reliable remote operation robotsmade by iRobot corporation, was first deployed into the reactor buildings.However, the narrow, steep and watery stairs prevented its approach to upper floors [Tadokoro 2012].
