Development of A Reconfigurable Spherical Robot III

摘要

The development of reconfigurable spherical robot III is presented in this paper. The researchers develop the reconfigurable spherical robot III with the ability to transform from a spherical mode into a three-legged walking mode using a linear motor. A linear motor which is kept inside the reconfigurable spherical robot III can be extended and shortened the upper hemisphere. The robot keeps three legs inside the lower hemisphere and uses three legs to stand and move on the ground. Each leg is modeled with three degrees of freedom. This paper presents the abilities of the reconfigurable spherical robot III. Transformation, walking, turning left, turning right, crossing the barrier.
