About TriOrb
TriOrb’s drive uses three large balls, each controlled by its own motor, to produce translation and rotation in any direction without steering the chassis first. The mechanism allows a platform to move laterally, diagonally and around its centre within a compact footprint. Control algorithms coordinate the three contact points for millimetre-scale positioning and stable movement beneath changing loads.
The mobility module can carry workpieces, fixtures or a robot arm through production and logistics environments. Several platforms can also coordinate beneath larger equipment to distribute a heavier load. TriOrb supplies mobile bases and integration support, while the customer adds the top structure, task hardware and fleet workflow required for the factory application.
