Abstract

The invention discloses a fast steering spherical robot. It includes a total of 8 pairs of spherical ball feet on both sides, 8 pairs of ball foot linkage mechanisms, two ball foot drive mechanisms, a central spherical wheel frame and a central pendulum mechanism. It is characterized in that: the 8 pairs of spherical ball feet The two ball foot drive mechanisms are respectively connected through 8 pairs of ball foot linkage mechanisms. The two ball foot drive mechanisms are respectively installed on the two side walls of the central spherical wheel frame; the central pendulum mechanism is fixedly installed on the Inside the central spherical wheel frame; there is a brushless motor in the central pendulum mechanism to drive the central pendulum mechanism to change its center of gravity, and to control the robot to move forward and backward in the normal direction of the central axis; The steering gear drives the opening and closing angles of 8 pairs of spherical ball feet through 8 pairs of ball foot linkages respectively, so as to change the left and right inclination angles on the central axis of the robot. The invention can turn smoothly under high-speed driving, has good flexibility, and its structure has universal applicability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of spherical robots, in particular to a fast-turning spherical robot. Background technique [0002] As a fully enclosed robot, the spherical robot has extremely special advantages in scientific exploration. In order to explore some special harsh environments, such as sand dunes, snow, ice crevasses, etc., traditional wheeled or legged robots will face various problems. Spherical robots have gained attention due to their ability to adapt to the field. But also at present most of the internally driven spherical robots will decelerate when turning, so as to ensure that the robot does not lose control when turning, and some even turn to can only be completed after stopping. In nature, such as the armadillo or the ball millipede, although they have a spherical shape, the main form of locomotion is non-spherical. So how to break through the concept of the constant spherical state of the spherical robot, so as to achieve ...
