ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled robot has a robot body on which a drive wheel is mounted. The drive wheel is connected to a member that can be turned about a vertical axis for steering the robot. A propulsion drive mechanism is mounted on that member for transmitting a propulsion drive to the drive wheel. The propulsion drive mechanism includes a clutch mechanism for disengaging the propulsion drive when the drive wheel encounters excessive resistance to travel. The clutch mechanism includes a spring biased clutch element mounted on an internal spline shaft of the drive wheel.
