Abstract

The present invention relates to a robot. A robot according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a body having a set volume, and traveling members provided in the left area and right area of the body and rotatably connected to the body through rotating shafts, wherein the rotating shafts are positioned to be vertically inclined at the incline of the rotating shafts so that same gradually face outward from the top to the bottom thereof.

Claims (25)

1 . A robot comprising:

a body having a set volume; and

traveling members provided at left and right regions of the body, respectively, and rotatably connected to the body by rotating shafts;

a driving shaft positioned inside the body so that a longitudinal direction of the driving shaft is directed to a front-rear direction of the body; and

a driving member providing power for rotating the driving shaft,

wherein the rotating shafts are positioned to be vertically inclined at a rotating shaft inclination such that the rotating shafts are gradually directed outward from a top to a bottom thereof,

wherein the driving shaft comprises:

a first driving shaft positioned at a left region inside the body; and

a second driving shaft positioned at a right region inside the body,

wherein the first driving shaft and the second driving shaft are connected to a plurality of rotating shafts spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction to rotate the rotating shafts according to rotation thereof,

wherein the robot further comprises a power transmission portion configured to transmit the power of the driving member to the first driving shaft and the second driving shaft, the power transmission portion comprising:

a driving gear connected to the driving member;

a first driven gear connected to the first driving shaft; and

a second driven gear connected to the second driving shaft, and

wherein the robot further comprises switching gears positioned between the driving gear and the first driven gear or between the driving gear and the second driven gear such that a number of switching gears positioned between the driving gear and the first driven gear is different from a number of switching gears positioned between the driving gear and the second driven gear.

2 . The robot of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the rotating shafts is positioned on a plane including a vertical direction and a left-right direction.

3 . The robot of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the traveling members includes a plurality of legs having upper end portions connected to a rotating shaft from among the plurality of rotating shafts.

4 . The robot of claim 3 , wherein the at least one of the traveling members includes at least three legs.

5 . The robot of claim 3 , wherein a longitudinal direction of a leg from among the plurality of legs is provided to be inclined by a leg inclination with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rotating shaft.

6 . The robot of claim 5 , wherein a sum of the rotating shaft inclination and the leg inclination is less than or equal to 90°.

7 . The robot of claim 5 , wherein the rotating shaft inclination is configured to be greater than or equal to the leg inclination.

8 . The robot of claim 5 , wherein the rotating shaft inclination is identical to the leg inclination.

9 . The robot of claim 5 , wherein the rotating shaft inclination and the leg inclination are set to 45°.

10 . The robot of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the traveling members are spaced apart from each other by a set distance in the front-rear direction.

11 . The robot of claim 1 , further comprising bevel gears provided on the driving shaft and a rotating shaft, from among the plurality of rotating shafts, respectively, to connect the driving shaft and the rotating shaft.
