Title:
ROLLING AND JUMPING ROBOT WITH AN INCREASED OBSTACLE PASSING ABILITY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016137240
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a robot to which a function is added to aid in passing an obstacle.SOLUTION: The robot includes a body with a carriage 12 and a pair of wheels 14, as well as a sliding part 16 supporting a contact pad 36 which causes, through abrupt liberation of the energy stored in a spring 54, a leap of the robot above the ground. It further includes a tail stand 50, fastened to the robot body at a fixation point located remote from the sliding part 16 and in a region 24 at the opposite from the ground according to the main direction Δ of the carriage. The tail stand 50 forms at its distal end 56 an alternative ground-bearing point A, in a region located beyond the circumference of the wheels 14. The tail stand 50 is at least partially elastically deformable by bending so as to allow under stress a moving of its distal end 56 closer to or away from the point of fixation to the robot body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
