Abstract
We aim at the development of high power rescue robots with compact and simple structure using a high pressure hydraulic actuator. In this paper, we report the compact Jack Robot, which can jack up 17 [kN] (1.7 ton). Using this robot, it is made possible to keep the space and rescue victims by jacking up the rubbles in narrow space. By the field test, we verified the jack up performance of the robot. Additionally, cooperated operations with two jack robots, we verified to make enough space to search in the rubble by other robots or search tools.
