Spherical integrated remote-control locomotive excursor |
| 摘要 |
A spherical integrated remote-control locomotive excursor (SIRCLE) is provided for remote reconnaissance. The SIRCLE includes a spherical shell, a chassis within the shell and a set of wheels between the shell and chassis. The spherical shell has inner and outer surfaces. The chassis contains a platform, an electric motor and a power supply. The set of wheels are driven by the motor and supported by the chassis. The wheels engage the inner surface and turn in response to the motor. The shell rolls by turning the wheels to propel the SIRCLE. |
