  • Ridge-Tracking for Strawberry Harvesting Support Robot According to Farmer’s Behavior

    Yorozu A., Ishigami G., Takahashi M., Springer Proceedings in Advanced Robotics, 2021

    　View Summary

    In Japan, the amount of agricultural production decreases year-by-year. Moreover, reduction in agricultural work population and increase of abandonment of cultivated land are major social issues. To overcome these issues, we have proposed a small agricultural robot “MY DONKEY®” which supports transportation of harvested crops and records the farm work of the user and crop yield in field map while moving closer to the user. In order to move in the furrowed field, it is necessary to detect ridges and furrows where the robot can move using robot-mounted sensors and follow the ridge while avoiding the ridges and crop rows. Furthermore, to realize smooth harvesting support, we propose a ridge-tracking control according to user’s behavior based on the recognition of the work contents of the user such as harvesting, loading of harvested crops to the robot, transportation, and movement. We propose the ridge-tracking control framework based on fuzzy set theory which can evaluate and integrate multiple situations and carry out experiments in strawberry farm.

  • Simulator for disaster response robotics

    Kanehiro F, Nakaoka S, Sugihara T, Wakisaka N, Ishigami G, Ozaki S, Tadokoro S, Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics, 2019

    　View Summary

    © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. This chapter presents a simulator for disaster response robots based on the Choreonoid framework. Two physics engines and a graphics engine were developed and integrated into the framework. One physics engine enables robust contact-force computation among rigid bodies based on volumetric intersection and a relaxed constraint, whereas the other enables accurate and computationally efficient computation of machine–terrain interaction mechanics based on macro and microscopic approaches. The graphics engine allows simulating natural phenomena, such as rain, fire, and smoke, based on a particle system to resemble tough scenarios at disaster sites. In addition, wide-angle vision sensors, such as omnidirectional cameras and LIDAR sensors, can be simulated using multiple rendering screens. Overall, the simulator provides a tool for the efficient and safe development of disaster response robots.

    　View Summary

    In disaster areas, operating heavy construction equipment remotely and autonomously is necessary, but conventional remote-controlled heavy equipment has problems such as insufficient operability, limited mobility on slopes and stairs, and low work efficiency because of difficult remote control. As part of the ImPACT-TRC Program, a group of Japanese researchers attempts to solve these problems by developing a construction robot for disaster relief tasks with a new mechanism and new control methods. This chapter presents the overview of construction robot and the details of main elemental technologies making up the robot. Section 5.1 describes the basic configuration of the robot and the teleoperation system. Section 5.2 is a tether powered drone which provides extra visual information. Sections 5.4 and 5.3 are force and tactile feedback for skillful teleoperation. Section 5.5 is visual information feedback which consists of an arbitrary viewpoint visualization system and a visible and LWIR camera system to observe surrounding of the robot in a dark night scene and/or a very foggy scene. These functions can dramatically increase construction equipment’s capacity to deal with large-scale disasters and accidents.

  • Experimental study on wheel-soil interaction mechanics using in-wheel sensor and particle image velocimetry Part I: Analysis and modeling of normal stress of lightweight wheeled vehicles

    Tsubaki H, Ishigami G

    Journal of Terramechanics （Journal of Terramechanics)  93   23 - 39 2021.02

    Joint Work, Except for reviews,  ISSN  00224898

    　View Summary

    This study aims to develop a wheel-soil interaction model for a lightweight wheeled vehicle by measuring the normal stress distribution beneath the wheel. The main contribution of this work is to clarify the wheel-soil interaction using a wheel testbed that equips multiple sensory systems. An in-wheel sensor accurately measures the normal stress distribution as well as the contact angles of the wheel. Particle image velocimetry with a standard off-the-shelf camera analyzes soil flow beneath the wheel. The proposed model for the normal stress distribution is formulated based on these experimental data and takes into account the following phenomena for the lightweight vehicles that have not been considered in the classical model: (1) the normal stress distribution takes the form of a Gaussian curve; (2) the normal stress distribution concentrates in the front region of the wheel contact patch; (3) the distribution is divided into two areas with the boundary determined by the maximum normal stress angle; and (4) the maximum normal stress exponentially decreases as the slip ratio increases. Then, the proposed model is experimentally validated. Furthermore, a simulation study for the wheel driving characteristics using the proposed model confirms the accuracy of the proposed model.

  • Visualization and analysis of wheel camber angle effect for slope traversability using an in-wheel camera

    Matsumura R, Ishigami G

    Journal of Terramechanics （Journal of Terramechanics)  93   1 - 10 2021.02

    Joint Work, Except for reviews,  ISSN  00224898

    　View Summary

    This paper visualizes and analyzes an effect of a wheel camber angle for the slope traversability in sandy terrain. An in-wheel camera developed in this work captures the wheel-soil contact phenomenon generated beneath the wheel through a transparent section of the wheel surface. The images taken by the camera are then analyzed using the particle image velocimetry. The soil flows with various wheel camber angles are analyzed with regard to the soil failure observed on the slope surface. The analysis reveals that the slope failure and soil accumulation in front of the wheel significantly affect the wheel forces and distributions of the wheel sinkage in the wheel width direction. Further, the side force of the wheel in traversing a slope decreases as the slip ratio increases because the shear stress in the slope downward direction decreases owing to the slope failure.

  • Spatio-Temporal Prediction of Soil Deformation using Machine Learning

    Saku Yuki, Aizawa Masanori, Ooi Takeshi, Ishigami Genya

    Journal of the Robotics Society of Japan （The Robotics Society of Japan)  39 （ 4 ） 367 - 370 2021

    Joint Work, Except for reviews,  ISSN  0289-1824

    　View Summary

    <p>Unmanned construction machine working in dangerous environments such as construction sites and disaster areas has been developed. However, it is still necessary to improve its work efficiency especially during bulldozing and excavating soil. This research aims to develop a method for predicting soil deformation using machine learning. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified in a scenario where a simple bulldozing blade excavates soil. In the experiment, soil deformation at a front part of the blade is captured by multiple stereoscopic cameras. The camera provides depth data that are then converted to height field data. This dataset is fed to machine learning using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) because soil deformation is continuous phenomena depending on time variation. The learned model for predicting soil deformation is confirmed in varied intrusion depth of the bulldozing blade. </p>

    　View Summary

    本研究課題初年度（2018年度）の主な実施内容および成果をまとめる．
    センサ搭載型車輪の拡張：これまで研究代表者のグループにおいて開発していたセンサ搭載型車輪をベースとして，車輪全周に圧力センサを配置したセンサ車輪，および内部にカメラと搭載したセンサ車輪をそれぞれ開発した．これらの車輪によって，車輪回転に伴った連続的なデータ取得が可能となり，2019年度以降に開発されるハードウェアとシミュレータ間のデータ連携の時間連続性を実現することができる．
    地形形状取得システムの開発：従来から本グループにおいてはPIV（Particle Image Velocimetry，粒子画像流速測定法）を用いて，車輪下部での地形の変形を測定していたが，同手法に加え，車輪後方部に搭載したデプスカメラ，上述のカメラ内蔵車輪をそれぞれ用いることによって，砂地上を走行する車輪周囲に発生する地形の変形を捉えるシステムを開発した．このシステムにより計測されるデータもシミュレータへのデータ連携として活用していく．
    シミュレータ環境の構築：当初，次年度に実施予定としていたが，予算および入手性の観点から2018年度にシミュレーションソフトウェアの導入をおこなった．同ソフトウェア上において，フィールドロボット（車輪型移動ロボットおよび着陸システム）のシミュレーション環境を構築するとともに，2019年度以降必要となるハードウェアとの連携について検討をおこなった．また，同ソフトウェアを開発している国外企業の技術者ならびに接触モデルを構築した研究者との技術交流セミナを実施し，本研究の発展を見越し海外大学との連携を視野に入れた議論をおこなった．
    当初予定としていたシミュレータ導入を1年早めることにより，本研究課題の基盤となるシミュレーションソフトウェア上でのロボットのモデル化，接触力学の概要，動力学計算の実施に取り組み，2年目以降のハードウェア連携が円滑になると考える．一方，ハードウェア（実験装置）制御系をMATLAB/Simulinkによって構築する予定であったが，この開発に若干の遅延が見られるため，全体の進捗として上記の区分にて自己評価する．
    2019年度の推進方策を下記にまとめる．
    シミュレータ環境の開発においては，動力学ソルバの安定性，多様なモデルへの対応方法，ならびにハードウェアとの連携方法について開発を進めるとともに，実験装置から計測される接触情報の取得ライブラリの作成をおこなう．また，当初の研究計画にはなかったが，実験装置では多様な接触物体（例：不整地地面の種類を変更するなど）を扱えないため，仮想的な実験装置として，接触物体の変形を精緻に表現できる離散化要素法シミュレータの導入も行う予定である．さらに2019年度後半期および2020年度では，HILSにおいてよく知られた問題であるハードウェアとの正確な時間同期問題，シミュレーションの安定化問題について取り組み，ハードとソフトの統合化に着手する．
