Looking for formulas

Looking for formulas

Looking for formulas

(OP)
I posted this before but it got lost, so here I will try again.
I am looking for the required formulas to discover how much torque is required to make a mobile robot move at the speed required.
I had this data a few years ago but I have since lost it, as I recall the whole process took many steps to come up with the answer, anyone here have these formulas?
Thanks Ryan

I thought this was place of knowledge, yet no one knows the answer to this question, come on guys surely someone knows where to find the requested data.

RE: Looking for formulas

"mobile robots" means many things to many people, yet you give no specifics.  Wheels?  Legs?  Tracks?

Calculation of torques is a straightforward dynamics excercise.  Those formulas can be found in the Smart Motion Cheat Sheet (websearch & download the PDF), dynamics texts, or almost any gearmotor manufacturer's engineering applications book.

The deeper issues for mobile robotics are slopes, surface frictions, offset payload loadings, etc., and how all those things figure into the "torque" answer you seek.
