    摘要: An articulated tracked vehicle that has a main section, which includes a main frame, and a forward section. The main frame has two sides and a front end, and includes a pair of parallel main tracks. Each main track includes a flexible continuous belt coupled to a corresponding side of the main frame. The forward section includes an elongated arm. One end of the arm is pivotally coupled to the main frame near the forward end of the main frame about a transverse axis that is generally perpendicular to the sides of the main frame. The arm has a length sufficiently long to allow the forward section to extend below the main section in at least some degrees of rotation of the arm, and a length shorter than the length of the main section. The center of mass of the main section is located forward of the rearmost point reached by the end of the arm in its pivoting about the transverse axis. The main section is contained within the volume defined by the main tracks and is symmetrical about a horizontal plane, thereby allowing inverted operation of the robot.

    摘要: A method of operating a mobile robot to traverse a threshold includes detecting a threshold proximate the robot. The robot includes a holonomic drive system having first, second, and third drive elements configured to maneuver the robot omni-directionally. The method further includes moving the first drive element onto the threshold from a first side and moving the second drive element onto the threshold to place both the first and second drive elements on the threshold. The method includes moving the first drive element off a second side of the threshold, opposite to the first side of the threshold, and moving the third drive element onto the threshold, placing both the second and third drive elements on the threshold. The method includes moving both the second and third drive elements off the second side of the threshold.

    摘要: An articulated vehicle including a main frame, a drive system disposed on the main frame, and at least one arm having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the at least one arm being pivotally coupled to the main frame and the distal end being pivotable above the surface. The vehicle also including an articulator motor disposed on the main frame and coupled to the at least one arm for pivoting the at least one arm above the surface and about the transverse axis, and a slip clutch coupled between the articulator motor and the at least one front arm for enabling rotation of the at least one front arm without rotation of the articulator drive motor when a torque between the at least one front arm and the main frame exceeds a threshold torque.
