Abstract
“VmaxCarrier2” is an omnidirectional mobile robot with step-climbing capability, usable as a compact, quiet, durable transport vehicle in cluttered, cramped environments. We have developed several kinds of omnidirectional mobile robots for situations where movement must be possible in any direction, such as “VUTON [1]” and “VmaxCarrier [2, 3].” To construct an omnidirectional mobile robot with a greatly improved capability to climb steps, we developed the Omni-Disc2, a Bent Pneumatic Actuator, and a pneumatic system. These novel components were constructed into a prototype, and through evaluation experiments we have confirmed improved step climbing capability of VmaxCarrier2.
