Novel Drive Wheel System Based On Spinning Sphere
An anonymous reader writes "A Bradley University student has built a mobile robot that uses a hemispherical omnidirectional gimbaledl, or HOG, drive wheel. It consists of a black rubber hemisphere that rotates like a spinning top, with servos that can tilt it left and right and forwards and backwards. The HOG system delivers an amount of torque directly proportional to the tilt of the hemisphere, allowing the robot to move incredibly fast nearly instantaneously."
