Abstract
The 3-Dimensional automatic Remote Surveying System has been developed for automatic surverying in big sites.
Ordinary surveying requires at least two surveyors. The new system, However, enables a single surveyor to conduct field surverying. All he has to do is just to bring “an intelligent pole”, which is an electronic instrument as a moving target, with him. And a 3-dimensional autotracking surveying machine equipped with a servo unit which permits automatic motorized rotation of the alidade and the telescope in the horizontal and vertical directions, which has been designed mainly for execution of dynamic positioning of moving objects, always tracks the intelligent pole and collects its positioning data. Operating from the pole, He can easily make sure of the survey results transmitted from the station in real time, at the site.
Through the radio and cable multi-network system, all the collected data are put into data bases instantly. These data bases help users with doing all the series of survey works such as drawing, calculation and the other things highly effective and efficiently.
In terms of the automation in construction sites, I think that the automatic positionig technique is one of the most essential one. The completion of this 3-Dimensional Automatic remote system could contribute to the coming out of automatic sites' robots in the near future.
