Abstract
Fuel consumption in a vessel can be reduced by a hull cleaning which has been performed by the industrial robot. It is most important to attach safely and travel on the hull surface for a hull cleaning robot. In this study, therefore, we have developed a drive control system of the hull cleaning robot that enables a stable drive. In addition, operator's conveniences were reflected on the drive control system for comfort robot operation. Through a drive control experiments conducted at a hull test-bed, we demonstrated the drive control performance and conveniences of the developed drive control system.
