AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing robot teams employing encirclement strategies struggle to maintain consistency during transport, particularly when tracking complex trajectories, where coordination becomes difficult and the lack of rigid connections leads to low transport efficiency.

Method used

Design a single-wheel cluster robot, including a docking base, a steering mechanism and a traveling mechanism. Automatic docking is achieved by using ring gears and magnet arrays, and flexible steering and movement are achieved by combining omnidirectional wheels and planetary gear sets. Multiple single-wheel cluster robots are connected by magnetic attraction to form a cluster robot system.

Benefits of technology

It achieves automatic docking and flexible turning of single-wheeled cluster robots, enabling efficient and stable transportation around objects with complex shapes, improving transportation efficiency and stability, and maintaining docking formation without the need for additional energy.

Abstract

The application provides a single-wheel cluster robot and a cluster robot system. The single-wheel cluster robot comprises a docking base, a steering mechanism, a traveling mechanism and a control mechanism. The steering mechanism and the traveling mechanism are arranged in the docking base. The steering mechanism and the traveling mechanism are connected with the control mechanism. The control mechanism is used for driving the steering mechanism to drive the docking base to steer, and is also used for driving the traveling mechanism to drive the docking base to travel in a required direction. The single-wheel cluster robot provided by the application has omnidirectional movement ability through the arrangement of the omni-directional wheel and the planetary gear set, and realizes stable transportation of an enclosed object. The single-wheel cluster robots can be freely docked through magnetic attraction. The cluster robot system provided by the application can efficiently cooperatively transport objects.
