Abstract

For simple and repetitive transport tasks in limited spaces such as in factories, it is more efficient to use mobile robots instead of human workers. For this reason, the reliance on mobile robots is increasing due to the increased implementation of smart factories. Currently, the structural design of the Mecanum wheel is required to ensure the stability of the moving robot since it is used for the transport of not only small products but also large products. In this paper, to improve the stability and durability of the Mecanum wheel, ways to improve the structure of the Mecanum wheel are presented. Then, using the Castigliano theorem, the structural stability is reviewed through the deflection on existing and improved structures.
