Abstract

This paper presents a new spherical robot design with pendulum driven mechanism. First of all, the detailed structure and how the spherical robot works are introduced. Then, the turning radius range of the spherical robot is researched. Next, based on Newton-Eulers law, the dynamic model equation of the spherical robot on left-right plane is derived. To control the robot to move forward, a RBF neural network based sliding mode controller (NN-SMC) is designed. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed controller is verified through simulations in Matlab software based on the designed spherical robot.
