Experimental Study on Alpine Skiing Turn Using Passive Skiing Robot

摘要

In recently, study on skiing turn is researched from various viewpoints. And the mechanism of the skiing turn using the skiing robot is clarified now. However, those mechanical models derived by using the approximate expressions don't match to an alpine skiing turn. Therefore, to provide further details of theoretical consideration, the passive type skiing robot is developed. The influence on the skiing turn such as the position of gravitational center and the shape of skiing are examined by using this robot. In this paper, it reports on their experimental results.
