Design, Experiments and Motion Planning of a Spherical Rolling Robot
This paper describes a prototype and analytical studies of a spherical rolling robot, a new design of a nonholonomic system. The spherical robot is driven by two remotely controlled, internally mounted rotors that induce the ball to roll and spin on a fiat surface. It is tracked on the plane by an overhead camera. A mathematical model of the robot's motion was developed using the nonholonomic c...
متن کاملRubber rolling over a sphere
“Rubber” coated rolling bodies satisfy a no-twist in addition to the no slip satisfied by “marble” coated bodies [28]. Rubber rolling has an interesting differential geometric appeal because the geodesic curvatures of the curves on the surfaces at the corresponding points are equal. The associated distribution in the 5 dimensional configuration space has 2-3-5 growth (these distributions were f...
متن کاملKinetic Model for a Spherical Rolling Robot with Soft Shell in a Beeline Motion
A simplified kinetic model called Spring Pendulum is developed for a spherical rolling robot with soft shell in order to meet the needs of attitude stabilization and controlling for the robot. The elasticity and plasticity of soft shell is represented by some uniform springs connected to the bracket in this model. The expression of the kinetic model is deduced from Newtonian mechanics principle...
متن کاملDynamics and Control of a Spherical Rolling Robot Equipped with a Gyro
In this paper, we propose a new driving mechanism for a spherical rolling robot and investigate the dynamic characteristics of the robot by theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. The spherical robot has a momentum wheel(gyro) that rotates at a large velocity inside the robot, and its mechanism may be expected to provide the driving force efficiently. However, the dynamics of the robot ...
متن کاملA new decoupled sliding mode control approach for the linear motion of a spherical rolling robot
This paper investigates the dynamics and control aspects of the linear motion of a pendulum-driven spherical rolling robot. The dynamic model is deduced for the linear motion of a spherical robot by using the Euler-Lagrange formulation. By appropriate definitions the equations of motion for the robotic system are transformed into the state space form. A novel decoupled sliding mode control appr...
