2A1-I07 シルバーカーのための段差乗り越え機構の開発

抄録

In aging society, there is a growing importance of a walker for an aged person helping with the walk. However, it is hard for a walker to ascend a step. In this paper, we developed a new mechanism using a sled-like shape for riding over a step. We regarded the angle against a step as an important parameter and focused attention on it. Based on a simulation of riding over a step and the theoretical value of the impact force, an optimal angle of the sled was obtained. We will take this result into account and develop the actual machine.
