Abstract/Summary
Mobile robots are a combination of mechanical, electronic, and computer studies that involve real world applications and user controlled systems. The purpose of this mobile robots are to be able to achieve tasks that prove to be difficult for people due factors like narrow spaces.
The researchers propose a mobile robot that would have a different method of mobility. The proposed design is a spherical mobile robot called Sphemo. Sphemo would take a shape of a spherical ball and use a DC motor to actuate its forward and backward movement and a servo motor to actuate its left and right movement. Sphemo uses a pendulum to stabilize its left and right turning motion.
Sphemo’s movement and control are then tested in different types of controlled environment which includes an imitated air-condition ventilation duct and a classroom environment. The stability of Sphemo’s camera was assessed by tracking the centroid of a reference object.
Test results show that a 33.66% difference were achieved in the forward direction assessment and 60.67% difference in the backward direction. Also, the average apex for left turning motion is 0.38 meters and 0.19 meters for right turning motion. On tracking the centroid, 11.70% difference was achieved from the camera’s optimal path.
