An embodiment wheel base includes a first base including a first wheel, a second base including a second wheel and coupled to the first base, a locking unit including a driving part and a fixing part operated by the driving part and selectively coupled to a plurality of fixing reception parts in the second base for coupling between the first and second bases, and a processor electrically connected to the locking unit, wherein, in response to receiving a base length adjustment command, the processor initializes a position value of the driving part acquired by a position value acquisition part, drives the driving part to achieve an unlocked state, and in response to an absolute value of the position value of the driving part acquired after the driving part is driven being less than or equal to a first reference position value, determines that an unlocking failure has occurred.

Wheel base and method for adjusting length thereof

A robot includes a body, a pair of wheels rotatably provided at a lower part of the body, a cargo box provided at an upper part of the body, an inertial measurement sensor configured to measure a tilt angle of the body, a pair of wheel encoders configured to measure a rotational angle of each of the pair of wheels, a cargo box encoder configured to measure a tilt angle of the cargo box, a pair of wheel motors configured to transmit a torque to each of the pair of wheels, a cargo box motor configured to transmit a torque to the cargo box, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the pair of wheel motors and the cargo box motor to allow the robot to make a double axis inverted pendulum motion on an axis of each of the pair of wheels and the cargo box.

Wheeled robot and control method thereof

A mobile apparatus is provided. The mobile apparatus may include: a body including a material of which a shape is reversibly deformable; a first link rotatably coupled to the body; a second link having one side rotatably coupled to the first link and the other side rotatably coupled to the body; a first shaft provided in a region, in which the first link is rotatably coupled to the body, and inserted into the first link and the body; a second shaft provided in a region, in which the second link is rotatably coupled to the first link, and inserted into the first link and the second link; and a third shaft provided in a region, in which the second link is rotatably coupled to the body, and inserted into the second link and the body.

Wheel and mobility including the same

A wheel includes a deformable part reversibly deformable in shape by an external force, wherein the deformable part includes an inner region having a shape extending in a peripheral direction, an outer region having a shape extending in the peripheral direction and spaced apart outward from the inner region in a radial direction, and a spoke region provided between the inner region and the outer region and having a first side connected to the inner region and a second side connected to the outer region. The spoke region includes a first spoke region having a section protruding in a first of two peripheral directions and a second spoke region disposed at a first side of the first spoke region based on a second of the two peripheral directions opposite the first peripheral direction, wherein the second spoke region has a section protruding in the second peripheral direction.

A mobile body includes a body, a front wheel and a rear wheel rotatably coupled to the front side and the rear side of the body respectively, a front wheel driving unit and a rear wheel driving unit coupled to the body and the front wheel and the rear wheel to transmit a driving force to the front wheel and the rear wheel respectively, a body angle acquisition unit to acquire a degree at which the body is tilted, and a processor. When a forward movement signal is input, the processor controls the front wheel driving unit so that when an inclination of the body to the ground is greater than a forward movement inclination threshold, the front wheel rotates at a speed based on a control value corresponding to an angular velocity of the body. As the angular velocity increases, the control value decreases.
