A robot path planning apparatus includes: a storage configured to receive an obstacle occupancy grid map, and a controller. The controller is configured to generate a cost map in which a cost corresponding to a separation distance from an obstacle to a movement area to which a robot is able to move is assigned, based on the obstacle occupancy grid map, determine a first path from a current location of the robot to a destination, and determine a second path by calibrating the first path based on the cost map.

Robot path planning apparatus and method thereof

Drive wheel for robot

A wheel structure includes a variable spoke configured to connect a wheel and a central shaft and having a length that varies in a radial direction of the wheel, a spoke driving unit configured to provide power for changing the length of the variable spoke in the radial direction, and a power transmission unit configured to transmit power from the spoke driving unit to the variable spoke. A plurality of variable spokes are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction. The power transmission unit includes an output shaft configured to rotate by receiving power from the spoke driving unit, and a clutch configured to connect the variable spoke and the output shaft and selectively transmit a rotational force of the output shaft to the variable spoke or cut off the transmission of the rotational force to the variable spoke.

Wheel structure, method of controlling wheel structure, and mobility including wheel structure

A driving wheel includes: a hub body disposed in a central region of the driving wheel; a plurality of spoke members inserted into the hub body and movable in a radial direction R of the driving wheel relative to the hub body; and link members each having one side coupled to one of the spoke members and the other side coupled to another spoke member disposed adjacent to the spoke member to which the one side of the link member is coupled. In particular, when the spoke members move in the radial direction R, the link members are rotatable about regions coupled to the spoke members.
