Drainage ditch inspection robot for muddy water

Sanritsu Automation (Machida City, Tokyo), Aichi Institute of Technology, Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute, and others have developed an inspection robot that can operate in water and mud. Any distortions or deformations, such as pipes collapsing vertically, will be detected and reflected in the maintenance plan. The aircraft is 39 cm wide, 72 cm long, and 40 cm high, and the angle sensor on the aircraft can measure the inclination of water pipes in 1 degree increments. The angle of the concrete structure of the waterway and the angle of the joints will be measured to check the drainage performance. Drainage ditches of less than 60 cm in width were difficult for humans to enter, and it was necessary to check the amount of oxygen and whether gas was stagnant. After confirming its running and survey performance, the company will proceed with commercialization. (= November 14, 2019, photo credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

The hundred-step Otokozaka slope at Mt. Atago

The stone stairs leading to Atago Shinto Shrine at the top of Mt. Atago. The steps in the centre, Otoko-zaka (Man Slope), are mentioned in old stories and songs as the place where Magaki Heikuro ascended and descended on horseback. The inclination of about 40 degrees seems too steep for a horse. The gently-sloping staircase on the right is Onna-zaka (Woman Slope). There was a third slope called Shin-zaka (New Slope) at the other side of the mountain. One of the photographs in the album sold by Baron Raimund von Stillfried Rathenitz, this may have been taken by Felix Beato in the early years of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

Taiko-bashi (Drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

The steep inclination of Taiko Bridge made it hard to cross, but these people seem to be enjoying themselves. The inclination of the bridge shown in a photograph from the early Meiji Period is gentler. There is also a photograph of the bridge taken in 1890-92 when it was in such a bad state that people were not allowed to cross it. The bridge shown here was apparently built soon after that time, which means that this photograph was taken after 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐67‐0]
