영문 초록

  In the field of providing mobility for the elderly or disabled the aspect of dealing with stairs continues largely unresolved. This paper focuses on presenting continued development of the "Nagasaki Stairclimber", a duel section tracked wheelchair capable of negotiating the large number of twisting and irregular stairs typically encounted by the residents living on the slopes that surround the Nagasaki harbor. Recent developments include an auto guidance system, auto leveling of the chair angle and active control of the front-rear track angle.
