Design and Performance Evaluation of a Three-Dimension Triphibian Robot Propulsion Unit Based on Electric Ducted Fan Engine

Robots capable of traversing multiple environments impose stringent design requirements on their propulsion units. In order to add flying capabilities to the existing amphibious spherical robot and enhance its maneuverability while optimizing propulsion strategies, this paper proposes a three-dimension triphibian robot propulsion unit based on electric ducted fan engine. The paper begins by introducing the concept of the robot and its significance. Subsequently, it analyzes the design requirements for the propulsion unit based on the functional upgrade. Following this, an evaluation system is designed to conduct thrust tests and verify the power of the propulsion unit, demonstrating the effectiveness of its design. This lays the groundwork for the comprehensive design and experimentation of the three-dimensional triphibian robot propulsion unit.
