Abstract

This paper describes a prototype and analytical studies of a spherical rolling robot, a new design of an omnidirectional robot system. The robot can arbitrarily begin to move in any direction to the target, and autonomously roll and reach any desired position. Our design has considered a spherical robot with an internal mechanism for propulsion. The propulsion mechanism will dis- tribute weights radially along spokes fixed inside the sphere and enables the robot to accelerate, decelerate, and move with con- stant velocity. A mathematical model of the robot’s dynamic and motion was instructed. An algorithmic motion planning is devel- oped and, partly, pseudocode of that is presented. For a number of missions, it is shown experimentally that the model agrees well with the results.
