Description
Summary:This paper presents the design of a four omni-wheeled mobile robot consisting of four omni wheels, with each wheel connecting to a separate DC motor. Additionally, the presence of a telescopic leg with a linear RC servo actuator enables the robot to adapt to various landscape changes, including obstacle overcoming. We have designed and manufactured the physical prototype of the robot based on the simulation results. The proposed robot can traverse in both vertical and horizontal directions without altering its orientation, thereby enhancing its stability during operation. The experimental results confirm the robot’s effectiveness in autonomously adapting its position in response to sudden changes in the landscape, enabling it to navigate and climb steps successfully.
