Research Abstract

A spherical induction motor with practical characteristics was developed. It can be driven in 3 DOF with no limitation in rotational angle. The motor has 5Nm maximum torque, that is 40N thrust on the surface, with less than 10ms response. It is applicable to a wheel drive of a mobile robot. With laser mouse sensors, the angular velocity feedback control and the angular posture control of the sphere were implemented. The characteristic of the torque output, the angular velocity and posture control was demonstrated through experiments.
