Potential Commercial Applications

"Robot Wheel Driving Apparatus for Enhanced Performance and Reliability"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to motorized wheels for robots or vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the aluminum electrolytic capacitor improve the performance of the robot wheel driving apparatus?

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor likely helps stabilize the electrical current flowing through the motor, ensuring smooth and consistent operation.

What materials are used in the construction of the motor housing and inverter cover?

The abstract does not specify the materials used in the construction of the motor housing and inverter cover.


Original Abstract Submitted

A robot wheel driving apparatus comprises: a wheel configured to rotate and move a robot, a motor housing provided inside the wheel and having a cylindrical shape, the motor housing defining an open surface, a motor inserted into the motor housing and configured to provide a rotational force to the wheel, an inverter cover connected to the motor and covering the open surface of the motor housing, and an aluminum electrolytic capacitor protruding from an inside of the inverter cover in a direction opposite to the inverter cover, at least a part of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor being accommodated in the motor.
