Abstract:

Construction in the water is currently under way using an underwater excavator. The underwater excavator is operated by a diver. To reduce the burden on the diver, remote controlled system of underwater excavator is developed, but the current system has poor operability to use. The purpose of this study is to improve operability of remote controlled underwater heavy machine. We considered and proposed the working field condition feedback methods to the remote controlled underwater excavator operator for improving the operability. The methods were evaluated through simulation experiments.
