This guide outlines how to calculate power parameters for a mobile robot and select an appropriate power system. We cover frictional and acceleration forces, wheel type, and motor parameters to design a direct-drive system with a brushless motor. With the rated voltage, speed, and torque of the motor, we calculate the required power and minimum battery capacity to power the robot successfully. This discussion is a valuable resource for designing or selecting a power system for an indoor, service-oriented mobile robot capable of carrying a payload of 20 kg and achieving a speed of 1.
