Autonomous mobile robot
An autonomous mobile robot is provided. The autonomous mobile robot includes an upper module including a cargo space provided therein, and a cover, a lower module positioned under the upper module and providing a driving force, and a driving module provided in the lower module, in which the driving module includes a plurality of pairs of wheels capable of asynchronously contacting a road surface or ground so as to overcome a step or a stair.
1. An autonomous mobile robot, comprising:
an upper module comprising a cargo space provided therein, and a cover;
a lower module positioned under the upper module and providing a driving force;
a driving module provided in the lower module;
a first wheel;
a second wheel;
a third wheel;
a front bar; and
a rear bar,
wherein the first wheel, the second wheel, and the third wheel are connected to separate driving units,
wherein the third wheel is installed at one end of the front bar,
wherein the other end of the front bar is hinged to an intermediate axis portion of the rear bar, and
wherein the driving module comprises a plurality of pairs of wheels including the first wheel, the second wheel, and the third wheel and capable of asynchronously contacting a road surface or ground so as to overcome a step or a stair.
2. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 1 ,
wherein the second wheel and the third wheel are constrained in position relative each other so as to be provided as one module.
3. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 1 ,
wherein the front bar is pivotable about the intermediate axis portion of the rear bar within a predetermined angle.
4. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 1 ,
wherein the second wheel is installed at one end of the rear bar.
5. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 1 ,
wherein the lower module comprises:
a front driving unit;
a rear driving unit; and
a connection unit coupled to a lower end of the upper module and connected to the driving module through the front unit and the rear driving unit.
6. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 5 ,
wherein the front driving unit provides driving force to the second wheel and the third wheel.
7. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 5 , further comprising:
a first suspension unit provided between the rear driving unit and the connection unit to provide a suspension to the first wheel.
8. The autonomous mobile robot of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second suspension unit provided between one end of the front bar and the other end of the rear bar.
