Research on Design and Motion Control of Pure Rolling Wheel Mobile Robots by Peng Wang, Jianjun Nie, Xiaolin Xie, Hongzhen Yan

“…Aiming at the side slip problem of the wheeled mobile robot in the steering process， a pure rolling steering system is designed to avoid tire wear caused by wheel side slip. Based on this pure rolling steering system， a dual-power differential drive axle is developed， three special motion modes including ackerman steering， crab motion and in-situ steering are established， and the kinematic characteristics of the three modes are analyzed. …”
