step one, driving a first gravity center adjusting block and a second gravity center adjusting block to respectively move to two sides of the same partition plate; the spherical shell rotates to the state that the central axis of the annular pipe is horizontal under the action of gravity; at the moment, the directions of the two propellers are horizontal;
step two, if the two propellers face the advancing direction and need to turn left, the two propellers positioned on the left side of the advancing direction are started to push the spherical robot to deflect left;
if the two propellers face the advancing direction and need to turn right, the two propellers positioned on the right side of the advancing direction are started to push the spherical robot to deflect right;
if the two propellers are back to the advancing direction and need to turn left, the two propellers on the right side of the advancing direction are started to push the spherical robot to deflect left;
if the two propellers are back to the advancing direction and need to turn right, the two propellers positioned on the left side of the advancing direction are started to push the spherical robot to deflect right.
