A high mobility and high power robot, designed to be able to carry heavy packs
and payloads
over long distances on the ground, and be able to safely cross over high
walls, descend into
steep drops, cross over narrow chasms, and climb trees and other vertical
structures, using
back-drivable motors and a sectioned body shape. The limits of the robot's
mobility on the
ground depend only on its body length, which is adjustable. The power of the
robot depends on
the sizes and designs of the robot's power sources and motors, which are
adjustable.
A high mobility, high power, and flexible robot.
Background of the Invention
Field of the Invention:
The invention belongs to the field of mechatronics. An interdisciplinary field
that combines
mechanical engineering and electronic engineering. The invention shares
similarities with a
class of robots commonly referred to as unmanned ground vehicles. Unmanned
ground
vehicles (UGV) are electromechanical systems that can be either autonomous or
remotely
controlled to perform a wide variety of tasks. UGVs are generally wheeled
platforms, actuated
by motors, and carry customized tools/payloads that allow them to perform a
variety of tasks.
Unlike stationary robots, these UGV systems are mobile and can travel around
the ground.
The invention possesses a level of mobility and power beyond that of any
grounded robots or
unmanned systems currently existing. It is able to carry heavy equipment packs
and payloads
over long distances, can safely climb over high walls, descend steep drops in
terrain, cross over
narrow chasms, and even climb trees/vertical structures. A combination of
mobility and power
makes this invention unique and stand out from all other developed robotics or
unmanned
systems.
