MOBILE OBJECT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294218 titled 'MOBILE OBJECT
The present technology relates to a mobile object designed for stable movement during multi-leg motion. The mobile object consists of a body, front left, front middle, front right, rear left, rear middle, and rear right legs, each with a corresponding wheel, and an operation control unit. The mobile object also includes either a configuration with front wheels as drive wheels and an omnidirectional rear middle wheel, or a setup with rear wheels as drive wheels and an omnidirectional front middle wheel. This technology is suitable for applications such as cargo transportation.
- Front and rear wheels can be configured as drive wheels.
- Middle wheels can be omnidirectional for enhanced maneuverability.
- Operation control unit ensures stable movement during multi-leg motion.
- Suitable for mobile objects transporting cargo.
- Can be applied to various scenarios requiring stable and controlled movement.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in autonomous robots, warehouse logistics, agricultural machinery, and industrial automation.
Problems Solved: This innovation addresses the challenge of ensuring stable movement during multi-leg motion, especially in mobile objects carrying heavy loads.
Benefits: Enhanced stability and control during multi-leg movement, improved maneuverability, and efficient cargo transportation.
Commercial Applications: This technology can revolutionize the logistics industry by providing more reliable and efficient solutions for cargo transportation and warehouse operations.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the stability of mobile objects during multi-leg movement? 2. What are the potential industrial applications of this innovation?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring ways to enhance the efficiency and performance of mobile objects using similar technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present technology pertains to a mobile object configured so that a mobile object which performs multi-leg movement can stably move. the mobile object includes a body, a front left leg having a front left wheel, a front middle leg having a front middle wheel, a front right leg having a front right wheel, a rear left leg having a rear left wheel, a rear middle leg having a rear middle wheel, a rear right leg having a rear right wheel, and an operation control unit, the mobile object further including at least one of: a combination in which the left and right front wheels are drive wheels driven by the operation control unit, and the rear middle wheel is an omnidirectional wheel; or a combination in which the left and right rear wheels are drive wheels driven by the operation control unit, and the front middle wheel is an omnidirectional wheel. the present technology can be applied to, for example, a mobile object that transports a cargo.
