Title:
DANGEROUS SEA AREA INVESTIGATING ROBOT DEVICE AND DANGEROUS SEA AREA INVESTIGATING SYSTEM USING THE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH04119406
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To safely investigate the whole of a wide observation area without observer's going to a dangerous place by using self-position information obtained from a GPS (global positioning system) device and schedule information related to navigation and observation to perform automatic navigation and automatic observation. CONSTITUTION:A GPS antenna 21 is provided, and schedule information related to navigation and observation is preliminarily stored in a schedule storage means 23; and at the time of navigation, the self-position is detected by a GPS device 22 based on the radio wave transmitted from a satellite to navigate the device so that information related to navigation read out from the schedule storage means 23 and the detected self-position coincide with each other, and automatic navigation is performed up to the scheduled observation position. At the time of observation, various kinds of observation are performed in accordance with information related to observation read out from the schedule storage means 23, and recorded data related to these navigation and observation is stored in a data storage device 31 and is fed back. Thus, navigation and investigation are independently performed without remote control from a mother ship.
