Abstract

Spherical mobile robot has the characteristics of compact structure and agile motion and is promising to be used in unmanned environment. Designed for environment exploration, a spherical mobile robot BHQ-2 was briefly introduced. The kinematic equation of BHQ-2 was established and its controllability was proved with controllable Lie algebra. Based on the Ritz approximation theory, the near-optimal trajectory of BHQ-2 was planned with the Gauss-Newton algorithm. Simulation results and experimental results of the spherical mobile robot to plan trajectory with the method were presented.
