“…It is not portable because it is heavy. A broom type robot, SWEEPER, was constructed, which is activated by a DC motor [10]. In order to use it, the rider must wear inline-skates or roller-skates.…”

This paper presents a personal motor roller (PMR) that can be used for transportation, sports or amusement. The PMR has two wheels in a single line, just like the rollerblade. The rear wheel is activated by a motor. It is composed of two systems: mechanical hardware and electrical hardware. The mechanical hardware is mounted on a boot that is worn on the foot, while the electrical hardware is attached to the rider's waist. It is lightweight and portable. The maximum speed of the PMR is 2 km/h. The PMR is capable of going up the slope with an inclination of 10 degrees and speeding up and down by changing the position of the center of gravity of the rider. Through some experiments, the effectiveness of the mechanism of the PMR was confirmed.

This paper describes the successful research and development (R&D) of parallel bicycles (PB robots) including six prototypes created by the authors and their applications to personal vehicles. The first, developed in 1986, consists of a pair of coaxial wheels and an inverted pendulum on the wheel axis. Since then, the authors have carried out fundamental and practical studies on static/dynamic posture stabilization control, dynamic movement, and slope and stair ascent/descent. The PB robot control mechanism has recently been applied to educational robots, mobile humanoid robots, and personal vehicles. This paper also discusses personal vehicles commercialized as an application of the PB robots.
