TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to an omnidirectional mobile robot with self-stabilization and a mobile device. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] Currently, passive spring-loaded suspensions are mainly used for existing wheeled robots, which improve the robot's ability to pass on rough terrain. However, the movement ability of such a suspension on complex terrain is very limited, which still results in fluctuations in the posture of the entire machine body, so that the machine body cannot be maintained in a fixed posture. The steering mechanism of the traditional wheeled robot cannot realize flexible movement with full degrees of freedom, which cannot be moved forward, backward, left and right, or steered in place. Existing wheeled robots cannot perform jumping movement, so jumping to ditches or obstacles and climbing stairs are not possible.
[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 2017113762204 discloses a wheeled robot having a chassis body, the chassis body being provided with a motor and a steering linkage connected thereto, the chassis body being provided with a suspension assembly connected to the steering linkage and used to drive the rotation of the tires along the vertical axis, with the center of the connecting line between the rotation centers of the tires coinciding with the center of the chassis body. For this wheeled robot, a linkage is used to drive the steering of the tires. Although the suspension system for the wheeled robot is used to reduce the disturbance of the machine body caused by the rugged road, the posture of the machine body cannot be firmly maintained.
