Already proposed RT-Movers' problem
They face difficulty of getting over tasks of cybathlon as follows.- There is no capability of climbing three-step stairs up and down.
丂Reason: The body tilts at maximum almost 40 degrees when climbing stairs. In addition to that, there is no space to adjust supporting wheels in order to provide enough static stability. Previous research outcome cannot deal with this situation.
- It is difficult to open and close a door at Ramp and Door task.
丂Reason: A pilot's arm does not reach a handle of the door because wheels interfere with the door when opening and closing.

Aim of developing brand-new machine
The brand-new machine must complete all tasks of cybathlon including three-step stairs. That means it wins the gold medal at cybathlon.Major improvements are follows:
- Add an axis to move a seat forward and backward
- Expand a movable area of the seat
- Modify a body length
- Install a new mechanism for pivoting by using a simple mechanism

We are developping the latest version of RT-Mover, named as PType WA (Figs. 2 - 4). All fields such as mechanics, electrical system, computer system, software and control algorithm, are within our works.
The performance of PType WA was evaluated and written in [paper 6] ? [paper 8].

The followings are main improvements for Cybathlon 2020 in which the level of tasks become more difficult than Cybathlon 2016:
-motoin algorithm for climbing up and down stairs,
-robotic algorithm for opeing and closing a door,
-speedy and stable motion algorithms for all tasks.
Now, we call the new machine as RT-Mover PType WA MK-嘦.
