STUDIES CONCERNING MOBILE ROBOTS USING MAGNETIC LOCOMOTION UNITS

Nicoleta VIORESCU, Mihai Olimpiu TĂTAR

Abstract


In the first part of the paper, the authors conduct a study on mobile robots equipped with magnetic locomotion units. The second part presents the robot developed by the authors, a system capable of moving on both metallic and non‑metallic surfaces, equipped with two magnetic units and a spherical rolling element for stability. The proposed robot was tested on horizontal, inclined, and vertical surfaces.
