Tohoku Univ. Technology: End effector that can move on rough or flat ground : T22-345
Deformation mechanism having two modes of gripper and wheel
Robots that search for planets and collect damage information on disaster-stricken areas need to be able to cope with both rough terrain, such as steep slopes and uneven surfaces, and flat terrain. However, it is difficult to improve the mobility efficiency of both rough and flat terrain. For example, a robot that can climb by grasping steep slopes has poor mobility efficiency on flat terrain, and a robot that can move by wheels on flat terrain is not suitable for moving steep slopes and uneven surfaces. The present invention relates to an end effector that acts as a gripper when traveling on rough terrain and a wheel when traveling on flat terrain. By applying the end effector to a robot, a robot with high moving efficiency can be realized on both rough and flat terrain.

Company information
The revenue generated from technology transfer is reinvested as new research funding for universities and researchers, and is utilized to create further research outcomes. To ensure the smooth operation of this cycle, known as the "Intellectual Creation Cycle," we will vigorously promote technology transfer. The types of seeds we handle include patents, know-how, databases, and programs. We have established a collaborative framework by signing basic technology transfer agreements with the following universities (as of June 1, 2025): Tohoku University, Hirosaki University, Iwate University, Akita University, Fukushima University, Yamagata University, Tohoku Gakuin University, Iwate Medical University, Fukushima Medical University, Aizu University, Miyagi University, Hokkaido University, Muroran Institute of Technology, and Showa Medical University.
