摘要
There are several environments that the current mobile mechanisms may not adapt to such as narrow and complex spaces. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mobile mechanism which free deformation is possible like an undefined organism, amoeba. In this study, we propose a method for realizing the indefinite shaped mobile mechanism that consists of multiple gear type units, which is controlled as one swarm. We confirmed the mobile principle of our proposed method by a simulation, and made a prototype. We describe the result of the basic mobile experiment of proposed mechanism. Copyright (C) 2001 IFAC.
