Abstract :
Concerns a research and development project of advanced robot technology in Japan, finished in FY 1990. This project aimed to develop robots which could carry out inspection, maintenance, rescue operations or others in the field of nuclear power, subsea and disaster fighting. The various elementary technologies have been developed and the conceptual designs of total systems of the robots have been made taking those results into consideration. This paper describes the total system of the advanced subsea robot which supports the offshore oil exploitation and the verification experiment by the experimental robot which was carried out in December 1990.<>
