屋外用口ボットベース「Taurus」の研究開発

抄録

Japan has problems with a declining birthrate and aging population and demand for life support robots has increased. We have been conducting research and development on a robot base and we have managed to develop robot base capable of carrying a 100kg load and overcoming steps, and slopes. And we have demonstrated the safety enhancement of the robot base through experiments to reduce the impact of collisions using a bumper sensor and control the deceleration using laser range finders. In this study, we will develop six-wheel type robot base “Taurus” and present the some experimental results.
