| Research Abstract |
The final target of this study involves realizing a smooth and hospitable means of locomotion for wheelchair users in environments having a cultural meaning, such as historical Japanese wooden buildings and castle ruins, without tampering with the authenticity of the environment. With this goal in mind, a prototype of a novel wheelchair having a stair-climbing function resulting from transformable wheeled four-bar linkages was developed, and the basic performance was confirmed through an experiment.
