Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to develop a small and light power transmission mechanism that can be used to assist people for various tasks like transporting luggage and movement of elderly people by applying omnidirectional driving gears with arbitrary curvatures. The omnidirectional driving gear has two gear columns that are perpendicular to each other. “J-type” omnidirectional driving gear with zero and positive curvature that activates the side mirror inside of a door mirror of an automobile and the robotic omnidirectional transporting table with planar omnidirectional driving gear were developed. The robotic omnidirectional transporting table has two types by deploying the planar omnidirectional driving gears in different ways with their teeth aiming upward and downward. These prototypes were exhibited and demonstrated in large expositions successfully.
