Abstract
In the near future, the aging society, anywhere go wheelchair has been expected. Mainly, There are a rear-wheel-drive and a front-wheel-drive to the wheelchair. However, they have different characteristics. So, users of the wheelchair feel inconvenient. In this study, it is intended to improve the linearity of the front-wheel drive. Therefore, we experimented for rear-wheel drive and front wheel drive in order to examine the behavior of the wheelchair. The running trace from the angular velocity of wheels and the instruction of the joystick as the behavior of the wheelchair. Then, we compared both and carried out simulation of front-wheel drive wheelchair.
