Vibratory Robot

Vibratory robot capable of both flight and driving via phase control of electromagnetic vibration modules

This technology features a vibratory robot that forms a tubular structure by connecting multiple vibration modules in a ring shape. Each module contains an electromagnetic vibration unit composed of a coil, a magnet, and an elastic member, allowing for the control of vibration amplitude, frequency, and phase to achieve both flight and driving locomotion.

Existing flying robots are significantly affected by air currents and have limited low-altitude flight capabilities, while ground-based robots face movement constraints due to the physical limitations of wheels or tracks, which restrict their range depending on terrain conditions.

This technology changes its structure between flight and driving modes by varying the angles of the top and bottom of the modules. By applying individual AC power to each module, it controls thrust and direction through asymmetric amplitude and phase modulation. Applicable to indoor exploration and disaster site reconnaissance, it introduces a new mode of mobility that allows a single robot to transition between flying and driving.

Key Features:

• Multiple individually vibratable vibration modules provided in a plate structure with a set area and thickness
• A structure where vibration modules are arranged in a ring shape to form an empty space in the center
• Vibration modules arranged to form a tubular shape with a set length in the vertical direction
• Wings provided on the outer surface of each vibration module that perform reciprocating motion during vibration
