Fresh hacks every day
Here's a 3D printed Hemispherical Omnidirectional Gimballed Drive system which you can make at home. That's a mouthful which is why it is commonly referred to as a HOG drive. Never heard of one? Well you need to keep up with your Hackaday because about 20 months ago we featured this amazing robot project that uses one. The design is a tricycle orientation with the HOG drive as the only powered … [Read more...]
[Silas] is a student at Olin College and came up with a platform using the singularity drive system in his spare time. We covered a LEGO build of a singularity drive earlier this month. Instead of wheels, treads or legs, this drive system has a hemisphere spinning along its vertical axis. Interestingly, the robot does not change the speed or direction of its drive motor at all. IEEE is now … [Read more...]
Bradley University grad student [Curtis Boirum] has built a robot which uses quite a unique drive system, one we’re guessing you have never seen before. The robot uses a single motor to drive its hemispherical omnidirectional gimbaled wheel, propelling it across the floor at amazing speeds with uncanny agility. The robot uses a simple two axis gimbal for movement, which houses a small … [Read more...]
