Tohoku Univ. Technology:Drive mechanism with high runnability for all-directional movement: T16-008
All-directional movement with a simple mechanism! Run in any direction on uneven ground!
Invention of drive mechanism for all-directional movement suitable in a small area All-directional movement with simple mechanism Conventional : Complex & large drive mechanism Need to control many inputs by synchronization Invention : Simple & small with only 5 components All-directional movement by simply changing the rotation speed ratio of 2 inputs Excellent step traversability & runnability Traversability: Experimental confirmation of traversing a step having the same height as the wheel radius ⇒ Able to climb over indoor thresholds and carpets Runnability: 1 Even 1 wheel spins out, the other wheels will move ⇒ Runs even on uneven flooring and outdoor surfaces 2 Magnetic cog-wheel with non-contact gear is used for power transmission ⇒ Runs in dusty and large temperature gap environments ⇒ Able to operate in sanitary environment where machine oil is not appropriated
