Compared to the automation of package transportation such as large-scale logistics, there are still many manual operations for small and irregular package transportation. Since autonomous transport vehicles are effective for transporting small and medium-sized home deliveries at our university, we used a parallel link mechanism so that we can drive on flat roads inside the building and on non-flat roads outdoors based on differential drive wheeled vehicle with a small turn. In order to introduce a parallel link mechanism to the drive wheel and the front driven wheel, we examined, designed and manufactured the optimization of the link lever ratio and wheel diameter. Furthermore, the effectiveness was confirmed by running on campus and operating on indoor and outdoor non-flat roads.
