MOBILE ROBOT FOR BUILDING
INSPECTION
The continuous health monitoring of super
large buildings is very important for preventing disaster
and maintenance. However, most of the health monitoring
method of these days are mainly depending on visual
inspection method with the naked eye, and restricted to the
areas where inspectors can access. Also it has many
additional problems since lots of dangerous works have been
mostly done by human.
In this research, we have developed an
ubiquitous robotic system for autonomous health monitoring
of super large buildings for solving above mentioned
problems.
The developed robotic system can climb a
slanted wall with 45 deg, can be remotely operated and have
a wireless video transmission channel.
Main components are the following:
- onboard computer (Intel Pentium 933MHz);
- wireless communication card;
- microcontroller AT90CAN128;
- 4 DC motors, Maxon 60W;
- 4 motor drives (PI-control)
- 2 servo motors CX-28;
- USB Video Camera;
- batteries.
