Dr. Mohamed Krid |
Research Group Leader A new concept is proposed to solve the problem of long objects transport in a natural environment without object length constraints. The robot is formed by the combination of two or more cooperative robots that will be capable to co-manipulate and transport objects of any shape. This composition of the system gives various advantages such as security of the payload and the robot, and adaptability of the robot to different sizes and weights of the transported object. A first application is to transport injured people on stretchers in allterrain, particularly after natural disasters. The same robot can also transport long objects such as tree-trunks, bunches of metallic bars on building sites, long profiles, etc. http://fac.ksu.edu.sa/mkrid |
