Natural disasters and terrorism occur frequently around the world in recent years, and the damage site may be in a situation where it is difficult for people to enter. When people investigate, explore and rescue such environments, it is very dangerous to consider the occurrence of secondary disasters due to building collapse and fire. It is considered effective to use a robot for dangerous work such as a disaster. Many robots with flipper arms have been developed as rough terrain mobile robots, but few researches have been done on the shape of flipper arms. Our laboratory has developed a special shaped multi-function flipper arm and a rough terrain mobile robot ALACRAN-3.
