Reconfigurable Locomotion Mobile Robot (2014)

From the work of the mobile feet motor module (2012), an evolution of this has been carried out and a reconfigurable hybrid robot with two operating modes has been designed. the architecture of the robot would consist of two reconfigurable modules, linked together by a central support. In addition, the robot would have a third support point, which could be a third module, or another rolling element such as a wheel. For simplicity, an omnidirectional wheel has been chosen as the third support. In turn, each of the modules would be composed of four supports in the shape of a circular segment, two racks that would join, like a bar, to two supports each, and a central body that would house the transmission system to move the racks.

Mobile Feet Motor Module (2012)

Hybrid locomotion system with cylindrical geometry and sliding feet, easily attachable to a robot body, which entails infinite possibilities of use.
Its structure is modular with multiple options that can be adjusted to each specific application. It uses servo motors connected by gear trains to the sliding feet. The module rotates freely with respect to its output axis, the movement of its feet determines its rotation. In this way, they not only adapt to the terrain, but also generate the forward movement themselves.

Omnibola (2009)

Spherical robot, 70 mm in diameter, made up of two wheels (each driven by a motor) that transmit movement to the casing.
It is capable of moving in different directions and along different paths and is made up of a spherical casing in which drive means are housed that act on the internal surface.

Surgical Robot (2002)

Mechanical design of robots to be used as a remote controlled automatic surgeon.

Mobile Robots (1996-2002)

Mechanical design of mobile robots. Selection of the mechanical configuration and design of braking, steering and traction systems.
Development and validation of dynamic robot models for high-speed operations.
