Evaluation of viewpoint translation of telepresence robot by trochoid trajectory

- A mechanism for omnidirectional mobility without omniwheels (VIII) -

Abstract

We proposed a simple link mechanism running on geometrically complete trochoidal trajectory as a novel holonomic and omnidirectional vehicle. In telepresence the accuracy on the position of the viewpoint in real time determines the reality. In this report, using the telepresence robot that runs using the Omni wheel, we evaluate head followability when traveling on the trochoid trajectory.
