Abstract

This paper presents the design concepts of a protector for a launch-reconnaissance robot that is to be deployed for data-collection in hazardous regions. The protector protects the reconnaissance robot inside from shock induced during the process of launch, flight, and landing. Since the outer shells of the protector are automatically opened wide by the unlocking mechanism during the landing stage, the reconnaissance robot can easily exit the protector and move around to carry out its mission. We carefully simulated a finite-element model of the protector with the robot and compared the results with the actual dynamic behavior of the system. Shock- response tests using a droptable showed that the proposed protector filled with silicon material successfully attenuated external shock.

본 논문은 원거리에 떨어진 작전지역으로 정찰로봇을 발사하여 투하하기 위해서 필요한 보호체의 설계개념에 대해서 서술한다. 개발된 보호체는 발사, 비행, 착지과정에서 발생하는 외부의 충격으로부터 내부에 위치한 정찰로봇을 보호하며 목표지점에 도달하게 되면 해제기구에 의해 자동으로 보호체 외피가 분리.개방되어 내부의 정찰로봇이 용이하게 보호체를 이탈하여 정찰임무를 수행하도록 한다. 보호체와 정찰로봇의 유한요소 모델링을 통해서 지면과의 낙하충돌에 의한 충격해석을 수행하였으며 실제 실험결과와도 비교하여 모델링의 유효성을 분석하였다. 낙하테이블을 이용한 충격시험을 통해서 실리콘 재질로 충전된 보호체가 외부의 충격을 효과적으로 완화하여 내부의 정찰로봇을 보호하고 있음을 관찰하였다.
