1A1-I07 Experiments of Cooperative Step Climbing using two teleoperated Robots which are connected by a Passive Link(Wheeled Robot/Tracked Vehicle(1))

Abstract

This paper discusses a step climbing method using two teleoperated wheeled robots. These robots are connected by a mere passive link, and these are controlled by operators. This method uses the difference of the velocity between two vehicles during climbing process. It is important to control the link height for the safe step climbing. We construct the locomotion robots system, and the results of the experiment indicate the effectiveness of this method.
