Abstract This paper presents a new spherical robot with a cable transmission mechanism. Cable transmission mechanism replaces conventional gear train to eliminate the influence of gear backlash, lower the costs on mechanical customization, and can be arranged flexibly. By projection method, the 3D robot dynamic model with structural asymmetry is decoupled into balance subsystem and velocity subsystem, and the kinetics equations are established based on Newton-Euler's law. To estimate the unknown structural dynamics in the balance subsystem and external disturbance in the velocity subsystem, adaptive law containing both control and estimation error information is proposed for the uncertainty estimator (UE) design. Then, an uncertainty estimator-based sliding mode controller (UESMC) is introduced for balance and velocity control, leading to enhanced disturbance rejection capability and a reduced steady-state error. Simulations and experiments on a real spherical robot are conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control strategies.

A novel omni-directional rolling spherical robot equipped with a high-rate flywheel (BYQ-V) is presented; the mechanical structure of the robot are given, and the gyroscopic effects of high-rate flywheel can improve the dynamic stability of the robot. The simplified dynamic model of the robot is derived based on the constrained Lagrangian method. Moreover, a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller and a Percentage Derivative (PD) controller are designed to implement the pose and velocity control of the robot respectively, Finally, the control method are validated through continuous circle motion experiment. This robot is designed for territory or lunar exploration in the future.
