Research and experiment of service robots with remote telecommunication at a construction site

Abstract

We investigated the applications of a service robot equipped with a remote communication system at construction sites with different construction periods at a construction site and conducted applications experiments. For the purpose of construction management, we verified the functions to realize applications such as patrol, monitoring of the site, and communication with workers at the site, and confirmed the effectiveness of the system. Specifically, we verified the functions of the robot, such as the robot's running performance required for the patrol, operation performance from a remote location, camera performance required for the monitoring, and voice input/output required for the communication, and also clarified the problems.
