Problems solved by technology

However, current spherical robots are deficient in terms of energy harvesting and low temperature protection.
[0004] Chinese invention patent ZL200810017895.4 discloses "A Spherical Robot Driven by Wind Power with Various Movement Modes for Environmental Detection". The robot is completely driven by wind power to realize free movement, but its movement cannot be controlled and cannot realize the predetermined trajectory detection movement and other needs, and the internal system power supply requires an additional power supply, which cannot meet the needs of long-distance and long-term field polar operations
[0005] Chinese invention patent ZL200810231786.2 discloses a "spherical robot device with both internal and external drives". Insufficient, it is impossible to guarantee a good internal system power supply, and the system has additional components such as solar panels, the system is complex and limits the trajectory of the movement mechanism, and can only perform simple obstacle-crossing and other movements. The movement direction is single, and it is impossible to achieve braking and Complex movements such as steering can be controlled
[0006] Chinese utility model patent ZL 200820032723.X discloses "omnidirectional motion spherical robot", which can realize omnidirectional motion, but adopts internal power supply mode, and cannot continue to move when the internal power supply is exhausted
