Abstract

The aim of this research is the realization of an autonomous mobile robot which can perform many kind of tasks in a real environment for a long duration without supports by human operators. We call such autonomy long term activity.

A robot, which works for long term autonomously should be able to get re-charging the battery without failure, at least. As the first-step of long term activity, we made a basic experiment in which our mobile robot are presented in this paper. In the experiment, our robot “Yamabico-Liv” survived over a week while it had repetitively performed going in and out of the battery charge station every 10 minutes. In this paper, the implementation and result of this experiment, and next one which is now undergoing are presented.
