Abstract

This paper presents the design of a tele-operated service robot to assist in high-pressure cleaning tasks. The robot consists in a mobile base with three wheels and a pan-tilt system sited over the mobile base. A water-jet gun is mounted on the pan-tilt system as End-Effector (EE). The robot is remotely manipulated through a PC gamepad. A static analysis is carried out to analyse the repulsion and reaction forces of waterjet. A prototype is manufactured from a proposed conceptual design. Preliminary experimental tests are carried out to demonstrate the capabilities and effectiveness of the robot during a simulated cleaning task.
