Analysis of Climbing Obstacle Capability and its Influential Factors of Omni-Directional Wheeled Robot

Abstract

The perpendicular climbing obstacle capability of omni-directional wheeled robot was studied, based on simplified mechanics model. The relation between influential factors and perpendicular climbing obstacle height was given under two conditions: simultaneously climbing obstacle by two front wheels and simultaneously climbing obstacle by two rear wheels. Then maximum perpendicular climbing obstacle height of this omni-directional wheeled robot was calculated. Simulation analysis to the result by MATLAB was done. The simulation analysis gave theoretical foundation to the climbing obstacle capability of omni-directional wheeled robot.
