Ball-riding personal mobility (omnidirectional movement device) [Suwa University of Science and Technology]
We want to provide vehicles with excellent stability! Introducing technology related to two types of omnidirectional vehicles.
We will introduce the "Omnidirectional Movement Device and Its Posture Control Method." The "Ball-riding Omnidirectional Vehicle" is a vehicle that can maintain dynamic stability, while the "Joint-type Omnidirectional Vehicle" is a vehicle that can realize an omnidirectional movement device by arranging multiple omnidirectional wheels and connecting the body and chassis with a flexible joint. The ball-riding type is envisioned as a means of transportation in commercial facilities (level ground) such as large stores, while the joint type is anticipated for applications like electric wheelchairs (support for caregivers and labor-saving).
