Abstract
In this research, a small mobile robot driven by the reciprocal motion of three wires is proposed. It is capable of being effectively utilized for a search inside of rubble to quickly search for victims when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs. Since the mobile robot does not have to mount any power unit on the body, it is possible to construct the body of relatively light weight. Furthermore, since any electrical power source is not mounted on the body, the crawler robot can perform a searching operation under a sodden environment without additional waterproofing. It aims to develop remote control mobile robot for transmitting the driving force by wires in this research. In this paper, we consider the feasibility of the mobile robot driving by the power transmission with the reciprocation of wires.
