In some urban rivers, the water depth is shallow, and sludge is deposited on the riverbed. For that reason, the workers were check the riverbank on foot. Therefore, efficient urban area riverbank inspection system is required.
In some rivers, many inspections using UAVs and MMS have been tried, but flight of UAV is prohibited by the aeronautical law in urban areas of Japan. Therefore, the amphibious systems are suitable for inspection robot. In this research, we developed a hovercraft aiming at the inspection and management of rivers in urban areas. In this research, we experimented on an ACV in a river. We produced an experiment machine based on the result newly. We explain in this report about a result and problems and a new experiment machine.
