The stair-climbing apparatus has a series of articulating wheel sets extending below the platform. All of the wheel sets are vertically adjustable to negotiate stairways and similar changes of elevation. The lead wheel set is fixed longitudinally relative to the platform, while following wheel sets are longitudinally adjustable to adjust for the pitch or slope of different stairways. The apparatus uses sensors (e.g., mechanical, infrared, ultrasonic, etc.) to detect the presence of the stair risers and their height, control of the assembly being accomplished by a control circuit on board the machine. The wheel sets are raised and lowered independently of one another by pantograph mechanisms extending between the platform and the wheel sets. The horizontally adjustable wheel sets are positioned by a longitudinally disposed rack on the platform.

The invention relates to a stair-climbing method for a crawler-type mobile robot with guide arms, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: step one: the robot moves near the stair, the guide arms rotate downward; the robot is lifted after being contacted with the stair step and climbs the stair forward; when an ultrasonic and infrared distance-measuring sensor on the robot measures that the distance between the robot and the object at the front is larger than the width of the stair step and judges that the robot climbs to the top of the stair, the robot can stop climbing; step two: the guide arms rotate downward till the front ends of the guide arms are contacted with the ground; when the rotating shafts of the guide arms generate torque M which is larger than the set value, the guide arms stop rotating, the robot climbs upward continuously, the guide arms are separated from the ground with the climbing of the robot, the torque M disappears and the robot stops climbing; step three: the step two is repeated, a two-dimensional attitude sensor measures that the inclined angle Phi between the body and the horizontal plane is reduced with the climbing of the robot, and when the robot climbs continuously till the inclined angle Phi is not reduced, the robot stops climbing, the guide arms rotate backward and stop rotating when the inclined angle Theta between the guide arms and the body is 45 degrees.

An extension/retraction cylinder stops or starts tilting the platform of the stair-climbing wheelchair carrier based on a detection signal from an inclination sensor provided in the crawler drive unit. When the crawler drive unit is detected to be not tilted, the tilting motion of the platform is stopped at an intermediate angle (e.g. 20°) of a maximum preset angle (e.g. 40°).
