A crawler system as a mobility function on the seafloor has the possibility to expand the activity of research and development on the irregular terrain and on the sand seafloor. To improve the mobility function, a flipper-type crawler system was developed. In addition, the dynamic motion of the crawler system investigation is important to realize the activity there because characteristic parameters...
Mobility characteristic of ROV with crawler system in steady running was theoretically and experimentally investigated. It was found experimentally that flipper type crawler system gave advantages when running on the irregular seafloor and when working on the seafloor. On the other hand, the experiment suggests that the static or quasi-static analysis is not enough to estimate the motion of ROV with...
In Japan, independent living and freedom of movement are expected, even by aged persons, and the importance of preventive medicine and walking as part of overall efforts to maintain health are continuously promoted. To those ends, we have been developing a new mobility device, known as Tread-Walk (TW), which incorporates the following concepts: ldquoimproved mobility,rdquo ldquohealth maintenance,rdquo...
The development of assistive technologies, especially mobility devices, has an important impact on the daily activities and social participation of elderly people. The authors have developed a new mobility aid, ldquoTread-Walkrdquo, which extends mobility activities, maintains body function and maintains natural walking appearance. In the current research, we designed and developed a more natural...
