MOBILE ROBOT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077003 titled 'MOBILE ROBOT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a mobile robot apparatus that includes a body, two wheels, and two drive devices. The first drive device provides a driving force to each wheel, while the second drive device moves the body in a vertical direction. A processor controls the second drive device to make contact with or move away from the surface on which the robot is placed.
- The mobile robot apparatus has a body with two wheels on opposite sides.
- It has a first drive device that powers the wheels to provide movement.
- The second drive device allows the body to move up and down.
- The processor controls the second drive device to make contact with or move away from the surface.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Industrial automation: The mobile robot can be used in factories or warehouses to transport goods.
- Home cleaning: The robot can navigate through a house and clean different surfaces.
- Surveillance: The robot can be used for security purposes to monitor areas and report any suspicious activities.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Versatile movement: The ability to move the body up and down allows the robot to navigate different terrains and surfaces.
- Accessibility: The robot can make contact with or move away from surfaces, making it easier to perform tasks in various environments.
Benefits of this technology:
- Flexibility: The robot can adapt to different surfaces and environments, making it useful in various applications.
- Efficiency: The ability to move up and down allows the robot to overcome obstacles and navigate efficiently.
- Versatility: The robot can perform a wide range of tasks, from transportation to cleaning, due to its adaptable design.
Original Abstract Submitted
A mobile robot apparatus is provided. The mobile robot apparatus includes: a body; a first wheel disposed at a first side surface of the body; a second wheel disposed at a second side surface of the body opposite to the first side surface; a first drive device configured to provide a driving force to each of the first wheel and the second wheel; a second drive device configured to move the body in a vertical direction relative to at least one of a first center axis of the first wheel and a second center axis of the second wheel; and a processor configured to control the second drive device to move the body to contact a surface on which the mobile robot apparatus is disposed, or move the body away from the surface on which the mobile robot apparatus is disposed.
