Spherical Robots

Spherical robots are mobile robotic systems enclosed in a round outer shell that move by rolling, often using internal mechanisms like pendulums, gyroscopes, or drive wheels. Their compact, balanced design allows for smooth motion in multiple directions and operation across various terrains. These robots are used in surveillance, exploration, entertainment, and research, with applications ranging from planetary rovers and underwater probes to security patrol units. Advances in AI, sensor fusion, and control algorithms have made spherical robots more agile, autonomous, and capable of handling complex navigation tasks.
