This technology is a mechanical mobile platform located beneath a manipulator that detects ground inclination in real-time and controls multiple independently driven cylinders to maintain the level of the upper frame, allowing it to actively adapt to changing terrain.
Conventional caterpillar-type mobile platforms have fixed front and rear sections, which cause instability in the manipulator's posture on inclined terrain and limit movement in narrow spaces due to the inability to adjust width when navigating obstacles.
This technology features first and second pivoting plates on either side of a central coupling plate, with sensors installed on each base plate to measure ground inclination. By extending or retracting independent cylinder sets placed between each pivoting plate and base plate, it achieves precise horizontal control of the upper frame and variable movement width. It can be applied to robotic gripping, precision measurement, and automated equipment, enhancing operational stability and efficiency by maintaining the level of the upper frame.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning for the development of a reinforced concrete chipping robot system for the maintenance of covered structures.
