Abstract:
Disclosed is a mobile robot provided with: a rotating frame (22) that can rotate with respect to a body (11) via a bearing mechanism (39); a plurality of extending legged wheels (25) provided at equal intervals on the rotating frame (22), each of said extending legged wheels having a first leg segment (26), one end of which is attached to the rotating frame (22) so as to be able to revolve, and a second leg segment (27), one end of which is attached to the first leg segment (26) so as to be able to revolve; a screw (32), on which threaded sections (35 and 36) are formed, that rotates and thereby moves runners (37 and 38); and a control mechanism (41) that couples the first and second arm segments (26 and 27) to the runners (37 and 38), causing the first and second arm segments (26 and 27) to revolve as the runners (37 and 38) move. When the screw (32) rotates and the runners (37 and 38) move, the extending legged wheels (25) open/close and the rotating frame (22) rotates, causing the extending legged wheels (25) to rotate. The disclosed mobile robot is small and portable, in addition to handing uneven terrain well.
