空気レス可変剛性タイヤのバネ圧縮機構に関する研究

抄録

Natural disaster often occurs such as earthquakes or heavy rains, in Japan. When there are disasters, debris are scattered or a soft ground may be generated. Therefore, there is a danger of punctures and stacks when vehicles pass at disaster area. In Japan, there is no organization to develop and operate disaster UGV. Therefore, this research group has developed a variable stiffness wheel that can be mounted on a delivery robot. The author discussed we quantitatively evaluate the effect of stiffness on running performance, and experimentally verify the effect on loose ground.
