Development of an omnidirectional wheel for rough terrain moving

Abstract

In recent years, rescue robots have been gradually developed. For rescue robot, it is required to be able to travel on rough terrain without falling down. Therefore, in our laboratory, we are conducting research on omnidirectional a mobile robot which can get rid of the risk of falling upside down. It is proposed that a novel wheel can run in all direction and rough terrain. In this study, we explain a design and mechanism about it and verify the effect of it by running experiments on rough terrain.
