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

Company information
The revenue generated from technology transfer is reinvested into universities and researchers as new research funding, which is used to create further research outcomes. To ensure the smooth operation of this cycle, known as the "Intellectual Creation Cycle," we will actively promote technology transfer. The types of seeds we handle include patents, know-how, databases, and programs. We have established a collaborative framework by concluding basic technology transfer agreements with the following universities (as of June 1, 2025): - Tohoku University - Hirosaki University - Iwate University - Akita University - Fukushima University - Yamagata University - Tohoku Gakuin University - Iwate Medical University - Fukushima Medical University - Aizu University - Miyagi University - Hokkaido University - Muroran Institute of Technology - Showa Medical University
