Abstract
The USAF has produced a firefighter's drill to be used for aircraft
fires. This report describes preliminary studies which were conducted
to establish a data base for the design of a robotic manipulator for the
drill. The loads associated with drilling of aircraft skins are measured
and characterized. Link flexibility effects are studied and manipulator
modeling and control issues are identified.
