Design of wheeled mobile robots with advanced drives

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperResearchpeer-review

Abstract

The dual-wheel transmission is a novel drive for wheeled mobile robots; it provides unique features: symmetric structure; load distribution; unlimited steering capacity; and self-rotation while keeping the platform stationary. This paper discusses alternative prototypes of mobile robots with dual-wheel transmissions. We find the conditions of the design parameters in each prototype to achieve isotropic designs, which guarantee optimum maneuverability.
