The robot can adopt a tall position using a folding arm and gather information using sensors mounted on the arm. In addition, this paper presents a stair climbing method using a single backward wave. This method enables the robot to climb stairs that have a short tread. The developed robot system is tested in a field test at the World Robot Summit 2018, and the lessons learned in the field test are discussed.}, pages = {70--88}, title = {Development and field test of the articulated mobile robot T2 Snake-4 for plant disaster prevention}, volume = {34}, year = {2019} }
