Abstract

Asbestos is a carcinogen prohibited material that has to be removed from houses and buildings. The European project Bots2ReC aims at constructing cooperative mobile manipulators capable to replace human operators in contaminated areas, in order to remove construction materials that contain asbestos by robotized grinding. The main objective of this work is to measure the grinding forces generated by a rotating tool used in construction materials, as these data are lacking in the literature. Two materials and different grinding parameters are tested, and recommendations are also deduced for robotizing grinding.
