The invention relates to a double-ring 
clutch type electromagnetic-drive 
spherical robot, which comprises a left hemispherical shell, a hemispherical clutching mechanism, a right hemispherical shell, a lead screw shaft, a coupler, a speed 
reducer, a motor, bearing seat fixing screws, 
electromagnetic drive parts, magnetic steel rings, permanent magnetic steel pieces, a left bearing seat, a right bearing seat and rubber pads and the like. The left hemispherical shell and the right hemispherical shell form a spherical shell, one or more magnetic rings are arranged in each hemispherical shell, the magnetic steel rings and the spherical surface of the spherical shell are coaxial on the lead screw shaft, the permanent magnetic steel pieces are uniformly disposed on the magnetic steel rings, N-electrodes of two adjacent permanent magnetic steel pieces are opposite in direction, the 
electromagnetic drive parts mainly includes electromagnetic cores, electromagnetic coils, a control module, a power supply, a supporting plate, a plurality of 
infrared tubes and supporting wheels, the supporting plate is processed to be arc-shaped and concentric with the magnetic steel rings, and the 
infrared tubes are mounted on two sides of the supporting plate respectively. The 
spherical robot can progress and retreat according to the principle of electromagnetic stepping, is simple and reliable in structure, stable and flexible in motion and high in 
controllability when compared with conventional robots.
