PaTS-Wheel compliant mechanism · 模型 197549
This CAD model showcases the PaTS-Wheel, a novel wheel designed to excel on both even and challenging, unstructured terrain. Unlike traditional mobile robot wheels that struggle with obstacles, the PaTS-Wheel passively transforms to create hooks when encountering obstructions. This ingenious transformation is guided entirely by the geometry of the obstacle, requiring no sensors, actuators, or complex controllers. The PaTS-Wheel maintains the energy efficiency and smooth ride characteristic of standard wheels on flat ground, with comparable energy consumption and vibrational profiles. However, its true innovation lies in its ability to traverse stepped obstacles with remarkable success. Testing has shown a 100% success rate on obstacles up to approximately 70% of its diameter, significantly outperforming equivalent standard wheels (≈25%) and whegs (≈61%). This design effectively combines the best features of wheels and legged robots, offering a robust and autonomous solution for navigating varied environments.
