The attachment of mobile vehicle is necessary for the automated operation on the inclined or vertical walls of steel structures. Since the vehicle requires attaching devices additionally, its overall efficiency can be reduced by the devices. Therefore, external shapes of mobile vehicles have to be researched to give the effective movement on the vertical face. For the design of mobile vehicle, the guideline has been derived from the modeling of wall-climbing, so that the vehicle should have a specific external shape for vertical movement due to the gravitational force. Hence, some adequate arrangement of attaching device to the mobile vehicle has been presented for the effective movement. In the experiments with four permanent magnetic wheels, a plausible result was achieved as a vertical attaching force of 185.2(N), a friction force of 153.8(N) and a curvature radius of 1.4m. The mobile vehicle should be modified according to the proposed design guideline. and then it could be applied to a specific operation as an appropriate external shape. Also, Further research is recommended on an optimal posture and a moving method in a specific application. as the attaching force ortho vehicle can be affected by its posture.

본 다축 차량은 험지와 야전에서 높은 이동성 때문에 비포장도로를 주행해야 하는 군용차량으로 사용된다. 특히 군용차량은 군 요구 사항에 의거 기본적으로 60% 경사로에서 안정적인 등판 성능을 지녀야 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 최적 타이어 힘 분배 방법을 통한 6WD/6WS차량의 등판능력 향상을 다루었다. 경사로 등판 시 사용할 최적 타이어 힘 분배 방법을 위하여 운전자로부터, 목표로 하는 종 방향 힘과 횡 방향 힘, 요 모멘트를 계산하였고, 마찰 원이론과 목적함수에 따른 최적화 된 토크가 각 륜에 분배되었다. 알고리즘 성능을 확인하기 위해서, 트럭심 소프트웨어를 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였고, 비교를 위하여 2대의 차량을 제안하였다. 한 대의 차량은 최적타이어 힘 분배 방법이 적용되었고, 나머지 한 대는 궤도 차량과 같은 균등 힘 분배 방법이 적용되었다. 경사로에서 등판능력은 최적 타이어 힘 분배 방법에 의해서 향상 되어졌다.

The mobile robot, named as KAEROT, is designed to go up and down stairs in nuclear facilities. To get a proper stable motion, kinematic modeling and analysis are seriously considered and new climbing algorithm is proposed focused on the stability. A couple of small wheels of one planetary wheel have to contact the surface ol stairs all the time to give the guarantee for stability and safety. To confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm, simulation is carried out. The results make evident of feasibility for the algorithm.

It is necessary to work on a vertical plane of workpiece in order to produce a large structure like a ship. These works can be automated by using the robot with permanent magnet wheels. We developed the permanent magnet wheel which can be used by a mobile robot and easily detached. We enhanced an adhesive power by restricting the occurrence direction of magnetic flow. And we also developed a method which weakens adhesive magnetic force by changing magnetic flow with metal pins. We used the load cell and the gaussmeter to measure the characteristics of the adhesive force and magnetic force. We obtained the result that the adhesive power is reduced to 1/3 of normal state by using 4 inducing pins.

We propose a new design of the hybrid-magnet wheel to make it possible for a mobile robot to be attached to the vertical plane and be in motion. In the new suggested design, a permanent magnet is utilized to enhance the adhesive force, while an electromagnet is adopted to reduce the magnetic field and the adhesive force for detaching easily. To analysis the performance of the robot, 3 dimensional finite element analysis is executed using commercial electromagnetic analysis program, Maxwell. The results show that the adhesive force is reduced effectively by the electromagnet in the new designed robot system.

Maintenance works of offshore wind turbines could take a longer time, which causes the reduction of their energy production efficiency, than those of onshore wind turbines owing to severe offshore environment. Subsequently, preventive maintenance measures are required to increase the production efficiency. Thus, we proposed a wheel-based Underwater Pole Climbing Robot (UPCR) platform, which was aimed at the periodic inspection and maintenance of the substructures of the offshore wind turbines, with three advantages: high speed, good mobility and low power consumption. In the proposed platform, a self-locking system using a gripper module was adopted for preventing slippery problem and a dual configuration was chosen for moving on a branched structure. As a result, the proposed robot was able to continuously climb, preserve it's position at the pole without consuming energy, and move from the pole to the other branched pole. The results of this research show that the UPCR has basic moving capabilities required for the underwater work for the substructures of the offshore wind turbines.

In this paper, we present a new type of spherical robot having two arms. This robot, called KisBot, mechanically consists of three parts, a wheel-shaped body and two rotating semi-spheres. In side of each semi-sphere, there exists an arm which is designed based on slider-crank mechanism for space efficiency. KisBot has hybrid types of driving mode: rolling and wheeling. In the rolling mode, the robot folds its arms through inside of itself and uses them as pendulum, then the robot works like a pendulum-driven robot. In the wheeling mode, two arms are extended from inside of the robot and are contacted to the ground, then the robot works like a one-wheel car. The Robot arms can be used as a brake during rolling mode and add friction to the robot for climbing a slope during wheeling mode. We developed a remote controlled type robot for experiment. It contains two DC motors which are located in the center of each semi-sphere for main propulsion, two RC motors for each arm operation, speed controllers for each semi-sphere, batteries for main power source, and other mechanical components. Experiments for the rolling and wheeling mode verify the hybrid driving ability and efficiency of the our proposed spherical robot.
