Robot Butler Wheels & Tires

thingiverse

We engineered a suspension system for a robot butler to navigate outdoor terrain with ease. Designing a testable prototype revealed that standard caster wheels wouldn't suffice due to their lack of flexibility on uneven ground. I created custom wheels with flexible tires as an alternative solution, which proved highly effective in real-world testing. They outperformed generic casters by providing significantly better traction and stability. Included here are the custom replacement caster wheels along with larger drive wheels used for the robot butler's mobility system. The tires were carefully modeled to fit snugly within a 0.15mm clearance, ensuring a secure seal that enhances overall performance.
