| Abstract | Nowadays, microrobots are being widely researched in order to deal with complicated missions in limited spaces. But important abilities such as locomotion velocity and enduring time are usually sacrificed in order to realize compact sizes. To solve these problems, we proposed a mother-son multi-robots cooperation system, named GSL system, which included several microrobots as son robots, and a novel designed amphibious spherical robot as the mother robot. The mother robot, which was called GSLMom robot, was designed to be able to carry microrobots and provide power supply for them. This paper will mainly focus on the structure and mechanism of the GSLMom robot. The GSLMom robot, which was designed as an amphibious spherical one, was shaped by a fixed hemisphere hull, and two openable quarter ball hulls. The robot was equipped with a 4 unit locomotion system, and each unit consists of a water jet propeller and two servo motors. Each servo motor could rotate 90° in horizontal or vertical direction respectively. When moving in water, servo motors controlled the directions of water jet propellers and the 4 propellers worked to actuate the robot. With this mechanism, the robot could realize moving forward, backward, rotating, floating and sinking motion in water. In the ground situation, propellers were used as legs, and servo motors actuated these legs to realize walking mechanism, so that the robot could realize moving forward, backward, and rotating motions on the ground. After discussed structures, actuating strategies were proposed for the robot. And kinematic models of the robot were also built. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
