Abstract: A rotary drive device in a mobile body includes a main wheel and a pair of drive assemblies opposing each other and each driving the main wheel. The main wheel includes driven rollers. One of the pair of drive assemblies includes a motor, a motor case, a drive force transmission, and driving rollers. The driving rollers are in the drive force transmission along a circumferential direction, and contact at least a portion of the driven rollers from one side of the rotary drive device of the axial direction. The drive force transmission rotates to transmit a drive force of the motor to the main wheel via the driving rollers. At least a portion of the motor case opposes at least a portion of the driving rollers in the axial direction.

Abstract: A rotary drive device includes a pair of drive force transmissions, a pair of decelerators, a pair of carriers, and at least one coupler. Driving rollers are included in the pair of drive force transmissions. Driving rollers transmit drive force to a main wheel. The main wheel includes driven rollers. The pair of drive force transmissions are rotatable about a rotation axis. The pair of carriers accommodate at least a portion of the decelerators. The pair of carriers oppose each other in an axial direction along the rotation axis. The pair of carriers include a first carrier and a second carrier that are directly or indirectly coupled by the at least one coupler.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes an input rotor, an output rotor, a plurality of planetary rollers, a guide member, a movable ring, and an elastic member. The input rotor is arranged to rotate about a main axis at a rotation rate before a speed change. The output rotor is arranged to rotate about the main axis at a rotation rate resulting from the speed change. The planetary rollers are arranged around the main axis, and each planetary roller is capable of rotating about a rotation shaft. The guide member is arranged to restrict positions of both end portions of the rotation shaft. The movable ring is capable of rotating about the main axis between the main axis and the planetary rollers. The movable ring is annular, and is capable of moving in an axial direction. The elastic member is capable of expanding and contracting in the axial direction. Each planetary roller includes a first slanting surface, a second slanting surface, and an annular recessed portion or annular projecting portion.
