Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of mobile robots, and particularly discloses a sphere-like robot. The sphere-like robot comprises a sphere-like shell, a driving unit and a control unit, wherein thesphere-like shell is a sphere-like polyhedron composed of a hexagonal supporting surface and a pentagonal driving surface; the driving unit comprises a preset number of driving assemblies, and each driving assembly is installed on the corresponding pentagonal driving face; and the control unit is arranged in the sphere-like shell and used for controlling the driving assembly to stretch out and draw back so as to drive the sphere-like robot to move. According to the spherical-like robot, the control unit is used for controlling the driving unit to stretch out and draw back to drive the spherical-like robot to turn over, linear contact is kept between the spherical-like robot and a motion plane in the motion process, motion is controllable, motion resistance is small, surface contact is kept between the spherical-like robot and the motion plane in the static process, and high static stability is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of mobile robots, and more specifically relates to a spherical robot. Background technique [0002] Spherical robot is a kind of mobile robot with spherical or spherical shell and rolling as the main movement mode. Compared with traditional wheeled, tracked or legged mobile robots, spherical robots not only have great advantages of omnidirectional rolling, but also have fast movement speed, high movement flexibility, low energy consumption and good environmental adaptability, etc. advantage. In addition, the spherical robot encapsulates the driving mechanism, control devices and energy system inside the spherical shell, which has a compact structure, high space utilization rate, and excellent sealing performance. Therefore, spherical robots show broad application prospects in fields such as exploration, search and rescue, and service. [0003] However, on the one hand, the traditional spherical robot is in approxim...
