MonoRollBot: 3-DOF Spherical Robot with Underactuated Single Compliant Actuator Design
Description
Spherical rolling robots have garnered significant attention in the field of mobile robotics for applications such as inspection and space exploration. Designing underactuated rolling robots poses challenges in achieving multi-directional propulsion with high degrees of freedom while utilizing a limited number of actuators. This paper presents the MonoRollBot, a novel 3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) spherical robot that utilizes an underactuated mechanism driven by only a single spring-motor system. U
