We have been researching on an information gathering robot. Before a rescue team enters to save the people who encountered the damage in a disaster and the terrorism spot safely, this robot searches for a safe course for the rescue team, dangerous equipments and the victim. We have developed a small light weight and portable robot which can enter narrow space. This robot has a wheel mechanism driven by each friction of which a transmission is simple. In this study, we confirmed the maneuver performance of one robot on various ground, and propose a coupling of multiple robots to improve that performance more.
