The invention relates to a high-maneuvering spherical detection 
robot, which encloses a movement mechanism and a control device, etc., into a spherical shell and realizes the movement of the whole 
robot through the barycenter offset and the 
angular momentum conservation principle. The movement mechanism mainly comprises a support frame, a connection disk, a straight-line drive mechanism, a pivot steering drive mechanism, a telescoping mechanism, etc. The straight-line drive mechanism mainly comprises a 
drive motor, a 
gear transmission unit, an executive part, etc., which takes 
advantage of the barycenter offset to realize the straight-line movement of the 
spherical robot. The pivot steering drive mechanism comprises a 
drive motor and an executive mechanism, which takes 
advantage of the 
angular momentum conservation principle to realize the pivot steering movement of the 
spherical robot. The combination of straight-line and steering movements can realize the movement of the high-maneuvering spherical detection 
robot in any orientation. The telescoping mechanism comprises a 
drive motor, a screw mechanism, etc., which are used for realize the purpose that cameras at both ends protrude out of and retract into a sphere shell. The 
spherical robot not only provides a steady platform for installing cameras, but also realizes the pivot steering with flexible movement and strong maneuverability, and the spherical robot can be used for a plurality of tasks such as high 
toxic gas detection, field environment observation, and 
planetary exploration, etc.
