Abstract
This paper discusses a ropeway type mobile method aiming to collect information in the ocean with obstacles such as debris and rocks as smoothly as possible. The device to realize it is mainly composed of a fire hose and a gondola probe, which is driven by fluid power using buckling phenomenon of the tube. The big advantage is the gondola has possibility of traversing rocky terrain where wheel types and crawler ones are hard to cross over, because it can go forward by the driving force not against the ground but against the hose.
