Examination of the conveyance movement of a large module by using carrier robots

Abstract

In order to improve efficiency of space in urban area, we have proposed Smart Variable Space which realizes various functional spaces by changing modules dynamically. So far, a bedroom type module was developed as an example of the spatial configuration module. However, the module had movement mechanisms even though they were only used in changing layout of the space. It caused heavy weight and high cost of the modules. So, in previous research, common carrier robot for various spatial configuration modules were developed to improve these problems. In this paper, we discuss conveyance method of a large module by using two common carrier robots.
