Abstract
The paper explains the recent improvements in the control architecture of a four-legged, two-roped walking robot conceived and designed for consolidation of almost vertical and irregular rocky walls. Saferdrill robot, whose development is funded by EC under Co-operative Research programme, must operate in harsh conditions and remotely controlled in order to make positioning and performing downhill drilling up to 20 m from a remote and safe place. The system architecture used to coordinate the manoeuvrability of the positioning, the drilling process, and the remote operation of the machine are explained.
