Title
Throwable tetrahedral robot with transformation capability
Abstract
In this paper, a tetrahedral mobile robot with central axis for transformation to the flat vehicle is presented. The throwable robot with the function of going into narrow spaces when its in the flat-vehicle mode is explained in detail. A prototype has been developed to illustrate the concept. Motion experiments confirm the novel properties of this mechanism: mode changing function and omnidirectional motion. Basic Motion experiments, with a test vehicle are also presented. Keywords: Search and Rescue, Throwable, Tetrahedral Shaped, Omni-Ball, Transformation, Mechanical Design.
