About Ss01 Mahi Tuatahi: Pūnaha Whakatairanga Tūru Wira
Tuhinga Pukapuka: Ko te SS01 he pūnaha ine i hangaia hei whakapai ake i te noho, otirā mō ngā tāngata e whakamahi ana i te tūru wira. Ka mahi te pūnaha nei hei karetao he tekau mā rima ngā mīhini kori (actuators) e neke ai ngā wāhanga o te nohoanga me te whakatikatika i te torque hurihuri o ngā wira i roto i ngā hēkona iti noa. He maha ngā pūmahi (sensors) e tuhi ana i te tūnga noho, te pokapū o te taumaha, me te tere me te torque o ia wira, mā te tino tika. Ka taea te whakamātau tere i ngā tūnga noho maha, nā reira ka kohia ngātahitia ngā raraunga ā-tatau me ngā ariā ā-tinana. Ko ngā ine o te SS01 he 2526 mm te whānui, 3950 mm te hōhonu, ā, 1250 mm te teitei.

- Unique Properties
- SS01 is a mesurement system designed and developed to improve sitting especially for person who use wheelchair.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 2526 mm x Depth 3950 mm x Height 1250 mm
- Tags
- Wheelchair, Paralympic, Sports, Robot, Seating
- Production Technology
- It works as a kind of robot which have 15 actuators moves part of seat and the torque of rotation of wheel in just a seconds and several sensors to logging seating position, point of center of gravity and speed, torque of each wheels with accuracy. With SS01, user can test many seating potision rapidly and get quantitative data and know how they fiscally feel that at the same time.
- Design Challenge
- It is challenging to formulate specifications for many applications and to design structures to achieve them, so we have repeated prototypes and improvements.
- Research
- The prototype was manufactured and tested repeatedly in order to improve the practicality of the product.
Experienced wheelchair athletes participated in the verification, and the specification requirements of the SS01 were extracted after repeated testing and recording for the purpose of setting the seat position of the wheelchair.
As a result, the SS01 was born as a highly versatile testing system, and is still being improved by testing wheelchair users on a daily basis.
It has been devised for applications where a large amount of data can be acquired with little effort and the structure can be diverted. - Inspiration
- Through the development of wheelchairs and para-sport equipment, the design team have been exposed to the fact that individual seating can greatly affect a person's ability to do so.Since able-bodied people also spend a lot of time sitting, they felt the possibility that there would be many benefits if seating could be analyzed quickly and appropriately and reflected in people's lives.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2017 and the SS01 was made in August 2018. In 2020, SS01 is used for medical research and the development is going.
- Operation Flow
- This project had been started from the development of racing wheelchair for Paralympic since 2017. Through the development, we getting to understood the importance of putting the athlete in correct position in perfect fit with the seat.
The seating position affected to their record so obviously with our prototype. And the obvious data made an experienced athlete understandable for us. The communication about wheelchair development became much easier for each other.
then we joined to "furo", the specialist in robotics, and started to design this system for not only for the atletes but for anyone. - Team Members
