Shepherd robot executes 'tornado" motion (1)

The Shepherd robot is an omni-directional vehicle that executes 3DOF motions. This motion is a combination of a linear translational motion and a rotation motion, which is not possible by normal robots. Each wheel of Shepherd has two degrees of freedom, steering and driving. The total 8 variables support the 3DOF motion. This vehicle is constructed for mine detection and clearing. The trajectory of each wheel makes a trochoid curve. ... robots "omni-directional robots" "Shepherd robot" "3DOF ...
