Analysis and Design of Spherical Aerial Vehicle's Motion Modes

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an overview of the development of an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) - spherical aerial vehicle. This spherical aerial vehicle has an obvious advantage of both flying in the sky and running on the ground. This new concept and structure increases the robots locomotion effectiveness and efficiency. Its unique structure is designed in detail. The movement modes of spherical aerial vehicle flying modes and rolling modes - are presented concretely. In order to achieve its rolling function, the device parameters of spherical aerial vehicle were analyzed and designed.
