  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN AUTONOMOUS ROBOT DRIVETRAIN WITH AN ACTUATED BOGIE
    Publication number: 20230302859
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel robot drive train that is robust, and low cost. The drive train is capable of ascending obstacles greater than the height of its wheels, protects the robot against shocks/vibration, and is highly maneuverable, such as able to execute a zero-point turn. To control the bogie in a variety of scenarios, a novel mechanism is used to selectively limit the articulation range of the bogie and/or programmatically apply a preload to the bogie axle.
    Type: Application
