Design of a Sorting and Conveying Wheeled Mobile Robot

Abstract

The wheeled mobile robot has been widely used in various fields nowadays. Combining with a contest of mobile robot used for sorting and conveying objects, this paper designed a non-tracking wheeled mobile robot, which can move according to a reasonable route planned beforehand. First, the overall schematic design of mobile robot was introduced. Then the mechanical design and the circuit system design were discussed in detail. Last, the strategy of sorting and conveying was studied, and the innovative rotary-wheel mechanism can greatly simplify the sorting and conveying strategy. Through experiment verified, the proposed wheeled mobile robot can quickly achieve sorting and conveying according to preplanned paths.
