AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing spherical robots face challenges in accurately tracking and maneuvering towards a launching device due to limitations in determining relative angles and distances, leading to inefficient movement and power consumption.

Method used

The spherical robot incorporates a wireless communication module with dual antennas to determine relative angles and distances, coupled with an inertial measurement unit and control module to adjust wheel hub rotations based on angular velocity and pitch angles, using duty cycle increments and proportional-integral-derivative control for precise movement.

Benefits of technology

Enables accurate tracking and stable movement towards the launching device, reducing power consumption by optimizing wheel hub rotations and ensuring precise closed-loop motion control.
