Mobile robot is a hot topic now, which ranges from small DIY car to large unmanned vehicles, and medium-sized AGV that are widely used in industry, such as intelligent logistics autonomous material-handling robots. Mobile robots have a variety of chassis, including two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled ones. For example, differential drive robot, three-wheel omnidirectional wheel robot, four-wheel omnidirectional wheel robot, four-wheeled Mecanum wheel robot, four-wheel sliding robot, and four-wheeled Ackerman robot.
Among them, mecanum wheeled robot platform performs a outstanding advantage in omnidiretional movement which is frequently used in heavy-duty industry, warehouse, construction site, forklift and material handling or other field requiring high flexibility of movement, even in defined space. Due to the discontinuity between the rollers, there is always continuous slight vibration during the movement of the mecanum wheel, which needs to be eliminated by designing auxiliary mechanisms such as a suspension mechanism. The material properties of the rollers can also be changed to soften the rollers to reduce the vibration.
RoboCT's mecanum wheel is specially equipped with integrated motor, reducer, encoder, hall and shock absorption system. The integrated design provides a lot of convenience for installation and offers a stable operation. It makes users no longer worry about the compatibility problem between electronic devices, and improves the efficiency of supply chain procurement.
