Example of Experimental Use of 3D Measurement System for Construction Robot Based on Component Design Concept

摘要

In civil engineering projects, operators run their machine, while monitoring machine operation data, soil conditions, situation around their machines, and so on. They basically follow the work directions that are issued based on the machine design and field conditions, such as topography of the site. An increasing number of construction robots are used in restoration work in disaster-stricken areas, and the advent of robots that can effectively utilize design data, field topographical conditions and such in response to the operator's demand is hoped for. This paper presents information about installation and demonstration tests of the measurement support system that has been designed with the "component design" concept in mind. The 3D measurement system for construction site is composed of three components and it is a part of the General Technology Development Projects called "Development of IT-Assisted System Based on Robots, etc." of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Based on this concept, the system configuration could significantly be made flexible, thereby facilitating reuse of this support system on a component-by-component basis.
