In recent years, the research has been conducted on the robots which automatically measure the illuminance at indoor construction sites due to the declining birthrate and aging population which cause the labor shortage. Therefore, we developed a system for one robot operator to work at night, which is currently being performed by two people. It is in the final stage of commercialization, adding practical functions required for illuminance measurement, such as simultaneous localization and mapping, and an ob...

The development for an autonomous illuminance measurement robot in indoor environment

Recently, the expectation to autonomous mobile robots has been increasing much in order to try to save labor in various scenes. However, there are many critical problems in autonomous mobile robot system. In this paper, we develop the autonomous mobile robot system for an illuminance measurement. In the mobile robot, the environmental map building and self-localization is the fundamental capability for performing the task given by operator. Therefore, we propose the real-time self-localization method based ...

Intelligent Technology of Autonomous Mobile Robot for Illuminance Measurement

Illuminance measurement is one of heavy burden tasks, which needs two people at least and conducts at night, in the construction work. For these reasons, the demand of optimized illuminance measurement system is becoming high, and we have proposed the system using a mobile robot. In the construction site which does not have enough landmarks for SLAM, illuminance measurement task cannot be successful because the robot cannot estimate its position, going to the wrong place. For this problem, this paper also p...
