In recent years, various electric wheelchairs have been developed and commercialized. However, there are not many wheelchairs that can be driven on mountainous roads with large undulations or in urban areas with many steps. Therefore, development of an electric wheelchair that can run even in an environment with obstacles is required in order to extend the freedom of life for passengers. In this research we developed an electric wheelchair that can run on slopes and uneven terrain. The developed object participated in the Cybathlon 2020 Global Edition and evaluated its performance.
