IceCube: A Totally Self-Contained Multi-Directional Robotic Sphere

技术应用

Not only is this new robotic platform fascinating to watch and play with, it provides a unique platform for more serious applications such as autonomous visual and chemical sensing, using optical windows and sensor ports built into the external spherical enclosure. Unique applications in both the toy, sensing, and surveillance applications are possible, as is the possible Hollywood cameo. See illustration below:

详细技术说明

This is an amazing new autonomous robotic platform, realized as a sealed sphere. Within the sphere is a novel, new drive system, utilizing off-set gyroscopic motors. It is driven by an advanced control scheme that allows the sphere to accelerate, stop, ascend, and descend inclines and change directions on a dime, with no visible moving parts.
