A spherical robot, also known as spherical mobile robot, or ball-shaped robot is a mobile robot with spherical external shape. [1] A spherical robot is typically made of a spherical shell serving as the body of the robot and an internal driving unit (IDU) that enables the robot to move. [2] Spherical mobile robots typically move by rolling over ...
In robotics, robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems. [1] [2] The emphasis on geometry means that the links of the robot are modeled as rigid bodies and its joints are assumed to provide pure rotation or translation.
A ball balancing robot also known as a ballbot is a dynamically-stable mobile robot designed to balance on a single spherical wheel (i.e., a ball). Through its single contact point with the ground, a ballbot is omnidirectional and thus exceptionally agile, maneuverable and organic in motion compared to other ground vehicles.
In rail transport, a wheel arrangement or wheel configuration is a system of classifying the way in which wheels are distributed under a locomotive. [1] Several notations exist to describe the wheel assemblies of a locomotive by type, position, and connections, with the adopted notations varying by country.
A three-wheeled differentially steered robot. A differential wheeled robot is a mobile robot whose movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body. It can thus change its direction by varying the relative rate of rotation of its wheels and hence does not require an additional steering motion.
PUMA 560 C robot arm segment measurements. [4] 6 Axis arm with 3 axis making up a spherical wrist. [5] Maximum reach 878mm from center axis to center of wrist [5] Software selectable payloads from 4 kg to 2.5 kg [5] Arm weight: 83 kg (approximate) [6] Repeatability ±0.1mm [7] 2.5 kg max velocity: 500mm/sec straight line moves [7]
Latest version of the robot was developed as a robotic platform for education and research purposes. Mona robot platform: R-One: light, IR, gyro, bump, accelerometer: wheel, 30 cm/s: 10 cm: 6 h: Rice University, USA [33] R-one [34] is a low-cost Robot for research and teaching purposes. It was used in several study on swarm robotics.
Additional degrees of freedom allow to change the configuration of some link on the arm (e.g., elbow up/down), while keeping the robot hand in the same pose. Inverse kinematics is the mathematical process to calculate the configuration of an arm, typically in terms of joint angles, given a desired pose of the robot hand in three dimensional space.
