ROBOT FOR AMPHIBIAN SURVEY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a robot for amphibian survey, which is compact, which can move in a narrow pipe path and on a grating floor even in atmosphere without air, and which can travel in water.SOLUTION: A robot 10 for amphibian survey comprises: a robot body 12 capable of mounting thereon, a measurement apparatus for measuring a surrounding state; travel means 14 for moving the robot body by driving under atmosphere; and in-water travel means for traveling the robot body in water, by moving fin parts 24a, 24b disposed on the robot body. The robot body is configured so that, when traveling in-water, the robot body can deform to an in-water travel shape in which the fin parts are expanded during in-water travel, and a narrow shape in which the robot body can travel in a pipe path having predetermined thickness, by making the fin parts narrower.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
