What Are the Common Problems with Wheeled Robot Chassis?

The four-wheel drive four-steering wheel chassis is a mobile carrier with flexible handling. The product as a whole adopts a four-wheel eight-drive walking structure, providing more stable and diverse walking. It can move freely in narrow and irregular Spaces. Modular design and multiple safety protections. Compared with the differential structure chassis, it has a faster walking ability and stronger load capacity on ordinary roads. At the same time, it causes less wear on the tires. Paired with a double wishbone suspension, it can pass through common obstacles such as speed bumps and is more suitable for long-term outdoor operation. Moreover, the wheeled robot chassis is a bottom-level control system constructed based on VCU vehicle control, managed by CAN bus, and features high precision and modularity. By being equipped with modules such as lidar, Beidou, and mechanical arms, as well as navigation systems, it is widely applied in inspection robots, engineering cargo transportation, the transformation of specific operation robots, teaching, and various new applications that require mobile chassis exploration.

At present, the technology of robot chassis has become quite mature and CAN communicate with the main control via the CAN bus protocol, enabling rapid secondary development to meet the application requirements of various complex scenarios. However, in actual operation, users still encounter some typical problems, which restrict the full play of the performance of the robot chassis.

Q: The robot starts up normally, but the vehicle body does not move when controlled by the remote control?

A: Confirm whether the emergency stop switch has been released and then proceed with the operation.

Q: What should be done if the walking mechanism of a robot makes abnormal noises during its movement?

A: First, stop the vehicle immediately, confirm the position of the walking sound, and moisten the friction parts with lubricating oil. In case of any other malfunctions, please contact the wheeled robot chassis supplier.

Q: What should be done if the vehicle stops running after running out of power?

A: First, make sure the robot is out of power. If it is, please charge it in time. If it is necessary to move the site for charging, it needs to be carried. The robot can only continue to be operated after it has been charged.

Q: The led indicator light (red light) of the charger is not on?

A: First, please check whether the output line interface of the charger is correctly and firmly connected. Secondly, confirm whether the battery cannot be charged due to long-term non-use, excessive discharge or damage. If there are no abnormalities in the above situations, you can try to reinsert the plugs of the input and output cables and ensure that the time interval between the two operations is more than 10 seconds to determine whether the charger has stopped working due to being in a protective state.

Q: The led indicator light (green light) of the charger is not on?

A: Please first check whether the output line interface of the charger is connected correctly and firmly. Check again if there is any input of alternating current.

Q: When querying the information of the robot chassis through CAN communication, can't connect?

A: Please check whether the interface of the CAN communication connection line is connected correctly and firmly.

Through the discussion of the above common questions, we believe that you have gained a deeper understanding of the practical operation of the mobile robotics platform. The four-wheel four-steering chassis, with its outstanding handling flexibility, strong environmental adaptability and modular design based on VCU and CAN bus, provides an efficient and stable robot platform solution for multiple application scenarios.
