Ball-riding personal mobility (omnidirectional movement device) [Suwa Tokyo University of Science]
We want to provide vehicles with excellent stability! Introducing technology related to two types of omnidirectional vehicles.
We will introduce the "Omnidirectional Movement Device and Its Posture Control Method." The "Ball-riding Omnidirectional Vehicle" is a vehicle that can maintain dynamic stability, while the "Joint-type Omnidirectional Vehicle" is a vehicle that can realize an omnidirectional movement device by arranging multiple omnidirectional wheels and connecting the body and chassis with a flexible joint. The ball-riding type is envisioned as a means of transportation in commercial facilities (level ground) such as large stores, while the joint type is expected to be used for applications like electric wheelchairs (supporting caregivers and reducing labor).
