摘要
This project designs and modifies an all-terrain forklift robot. During real-world testing, the robot needs to move objects quickly and accurately while maintaining balance to avoid tipping over. Therefore, stability and power are crucial.
To tackle these challenges, we came up with two key features. The first is a wheel-switching system — the robot can swap between tracks and tires depending on what the situation calls for. The second is an extra power system: we added two batteries to the back of the robot. This does double duty — it boosts total battery capacity and extends how long the robot can run, while also acting as a counterweight to keep the robot steady when it’s carrying heavy loads.
We conducted numerous experiments comparing different configurations, including stability, endurance, and mobility tests. The experimental results clearly demonstrate that the extra power systems significantly improve the robot’s balance and operating time. Simultaneously, the wheel-switching design makes the robot more flexible and better adaptable to different terrains and competition requirements.
