原子力施設の解体作業に適用する遠隔解体ロボットを開発した。遠隔解体ロボットは、双腕型マニピュレータを有し、画像フィードバック及び力フィードバックにより、遠隔解体ロボットを正確な位置に動作させ、適切な力を供給し解体作業を安全に実施することができる。開発した遠隔解体ロボットを用いて動作制御試験を行った結果、あらかじめ作成した遠隔解体ロボットの動作データに画像フィードバックを行い、複雑な形状の機器に対して切断,測定,除染等の一連の解体作業を力フィードバックにより実施できることを確認した。

A remote dismantling robot was developed for decommissioning in nuclear facilities. The remote dismantling robot consists of two electrical powered manipulators, end-effectors and a control system. To realize stable dismantling operation remotely, the remote dismantling robot is designed from view point of proper control in coping with different activity conditioning by feedback of image and of force to the control system. The image feedback was considered to obtain accurate positioning of the end-effectors and the force feedback was considered to supply proper force for direct interaction with an object. Motion tests were performed to verify the remote dismantling robot and its control system. As a result, it was confirmed that the remote dismantling activities such as cutting, radioactivity measurement, decontamination were conducted efficiently by using the image feedback and the force feedback.
