Comparison of Camera Alignment for Remote-Controlled Heavy-Carrier Robot for Shallow Water

Abstract

For post-disaster reconstruction, construction machines are essential tools. In particular, we have been designing the Remote-Controlled Heavy-Carrier Robot to traverse in shallow water under 2 m depth. The robot is working far location from operator, and then many cameras are used to observe what is happening around it. In this paper, we compare remote workability through cameras mounting on some types of position on the robot. At the first work, backward camera for loading operation is mounting on vessel. At the second work, forward camera for traveling operation is mounting on the front of the robot.
