Spherical Robots: An Up-to-Date Overview of Designs and Features

Abstract

This paper describes the existing designs of spherical robots and reviews studies devoted to investigating their dynamics and to developing algorithms for controlling them. An analysis is also made of the key features and the historical aspects of the development of their designs, in particular, taking into account various areas of application.

Reinforcement Learning in the Task of Spherical Robot Motion Control

“…can be located inside a sphere shell. In the review articles [3][4][5], one can learn more details about the internal devices of various spherical robots. One of the tasks of such robots is to move along a predetermined trajectory.…”
