The invention discloses an electromagnetically-driven
spherical robot. The electromagnetically-driven
spherical robot is characterized in that the
spherical robot comprises a spherical case, and magnets uniformly and annularly arranged at the vertical middle positions on the inner wall of the spherical case, wherein adjacent magnets have opposite pole directions; a main shaft is transversely arranged in the spherical case in a rotary manner, and is fixedly connected with a bracket; at least one group of electromagnetic coils are disposed on the bracket; and each
electromagnetic coil group includes two pairs of electromagnetic coils arranged symmetrically relative to the main shaft. The
magnetic core of the electromagnetic coils can be controlled to attract and repel the magnets on the inner wall of the spherical case by controlling the polarity of the two electromagnetic coils to change alternately, so that the bracket can be driven to rotate around the main shaft; therefore, the spherical
robot can move forwards and backwards based on the electromagnetic stepping principle. Compared with the conventional spherical
robot, the electromagnetically-driven spherical
robot has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, stable and flexible movement, and high
controllability. Meanwhile, the driving manner of the spherical robot is simplified greatly in comparison with the existing spherical robot, thereby improving the
utilization rate of the inner space of the spherical robot. Spherical robots with different dimensions can be manufactured according to different purposes, thereby enhancing the
bearing capacity of the spherical robot, and facilitating the generation of serial products.
