1A1-I08 Development of a wheel to get over steps and endurance test equipment(Wheeled Robot/Tracked Vehicle(1))

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a wheel which can move steps using grousers mounted in the wheel without using electric controls. We assumed that the proposed wheels are used for mobile robots, for example rescue robots. In our laboratory, we develop a mobile robot having the four wheels. Carrying out the performance test of the proposed wheels, the robot can move steps of 91% of diameter of the developed wheel.
