Design and performance evaluation of an amphibious spherical robot
This paper presents an amphibious spherical robot that consists of a sealed upper hemispheroid, two quarter spherical shells, and a plastic circular plate. It has a plastic shelf for carrying themicro-robots, and four actuating units for movement. Each unit is composed of a water-jet propeller and two servomotors, each of which can rotate 90° in the horizontal and vertical directions. The robot...
متن کاملVisual Detection and Tracking System for a Spherical Amphibious Robot
With the goal of supporting close-range observation tasks of a spherical amphibious robot, such as ecological observations and intelligent surveillance, a moving target detection and tracking system was designed and implemented in this study. Given the restrictions presented by the amphibious environment and the small-sized spherical amphibious robot, an industrial camera and vision algorithms ...
متن کاملAn amphibious robot capable of snake and lamprey-like locomotion
This article presents a project that aims at constructing a biologically inspired amphibious snake-like robot. The robot is designed to be capable of anguilliform swimming like the lamprey in water and serpentine locomotion like a snake on ground. Both the structure and the controller of the robot are inspired by elongate vertebrates. In particular, the locomotion of the robot is controlled by ...
متن کاملPreliminary mechanical analysis of an improved amphibious spherical father robot
In recent years, considerable underwater robotics research has focused on manipulating sophisticated systems for inspecting and maintaining underwater structures, which can include cluttered and complex areas such as narrow clear spaces. These robots may be used for feature and cable tracking, deep-ocean exploration, and to carry out tasks in environments full of coral reefs (Zhang et al. 2004;...
متن کاملDesign and characteristics evaluation of a novel spherical underwater robot
This paper depicts the structural design of a novel water-jet-based spherical underwater robot. The propulsion system is made up of four water-jet thrusters and 8 steering servo motors which can adjust the polydirectional shift of thrusters nozzle to achieve 4-degrees-of-freedom (4-DOF) motion. Every two thrusters nozzles formed an angle of 90 degree in one plane. A bilayer structure was adopte...
