Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of mobile robots, and specifically discloses a spherical robot. This type of spherical robot includes a spherical shell, a drive unit and a control unit, wherein: the spherical shell is a spherical polyhedron composed of a hexagonal support surface and a pentagonal drive surface; the drive unit includes a preset number of drive components, each The two driving components are respectively installed on their corresponding pentagonal driving surfaces; the control unit is arranged inside the spherical shell for controlling the expansion and contraction of the driving components to drive the spherical robot to move. This type of spherical robot uses the control unit to control the expansion and contraction of the drive unit to drive the spherical robot to turn over. During the movement, it maintains a line contact with the movement plane. Not only the movement is controllable, but also the movement resistance is small. The planes are in surface contact and have high static stability.

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...
