This paper deals with the design of a two-actuated-degree-of-freedom (DOF) spherical electrical actuator for mobile robotic applications. It presents the different steps involved in this design, namely the choice of the actuation principle (induction), its application to the case of a spherical geometry and two DOFs, the analytical and numerical modeling of the motor, and the sizing and the manufacture...
