Monitoring & Control and 3d Vision System for a Climbing and Drilling Robot in Natural Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with M&C aspects and 3D vision system in the Saferdrill * project. Saferdrill is a car-size 4-legged climbing robot dedicated to cliffs consolidation, for landslide prevention. The usual way of securing unstable cliffs consists in performing a geological survey, and then to raise scaffolds and have humans setting up and operating cumbersome drillers to make holes where 20 meters-long iron rods are inserted for consolidating the overall structure. Using instead a remotely operated climbing robot is an innovative approach, which brings very significant benefits such as reducing human exposition to danger, reducing the cost, and reducing the environmental impact during operations.

A direct method called fixation is introduced for solving the general motion vision problem, arbitrary motion relative to an arbitrary environment. This method results in a linear constraint equation which explicitly expresses the rotational velocity in terms of the translational velocity. The combination of this constraint equation with the Brightness-Change Constraint Equation solves the gene...
