Mobile robot application has reach more aspect of life in industry and domestic. One of the mobile robot types is a spherical robot whose components are shielded inside a rigid cell. The spherical robot is an interesting type of robot that combined the concept of a mobile robot and inverted pendulum for inner mechanism. This combination adds to more complex controller design than the other type of mobile robots. Aside from these challenges, the application of a spherical robot is extensive, from being a simple toy, to become an industrial surveillance robot. This paper discusses the mathematical analysis of the kinematics and dynamics motion analysis of a spherical robot. The analysis combines mobile robot and pendulum modeling as the robot motion generated by a pendulum mechanism. This paper is expected to give a complete discussion of the kinematics and dynamics motion analysis of a spherical robot.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
