In this paper, the basic running performance of the cylindrical tracked vehicle with sideways mobility is presented. The crawler mechanism is of circular cross-section and has active rolling axes at the center of the circles. Conventional crawler mechanisms can support massive loads, but cannot produce sideways motion. Additionally, previous crawler edges sink undesirably on soft ground, particularly...
In the paper, we show mobility and operability of flexible mono-tread mobile track (FMT) through experiments. For mobility, FMT can climb over a thin plate, recover from lying position on its side, and side wind. As a result, it is partly proven that FMT has enough ability for the complex environment. For operability, FMT is better than a differential type track vehicle in the case that vehicle traces...
In this paper, a novel crawler mechanism for sideways motion is presented. The crawler mechanism is of circular cross-section and has active rolling axes at the center of the circles. Conventional crawler mechanisms can support massive loads, but cannot produce sideways motion. Additionally, previous crawler edges sink undesirably on soft ground, particularly when the vehicle body is subject to a...
In the past decade, search robots in rescue operations have been focused on and developed for the purpose of finding survivors trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings. Most of them adopt serpentine mechanisms: they comprise of track-equipped segments that are connected by joints to obtain greater mobility in extremely complex environments. However, they might gather to catch debris between tracks...
