Design and development of rover with pick and place Mechanism

Abstract

Abstract This work presents a unique rover design that can traverse over a rough terrain and incorporate a pick-and-place mechanism over there. In the fields of robotics and space technology, rovers are crucial. Moreover, the rocker bogie design has established itself as a reliable mobility solution recognized for its improved vehicle stability and capability to traverse over obstacles. ‘Mars Exploration Rover’ has played a vital role in space exploration because it was an apparent choice because of its design of rocker-bogie suspension. The rover’s design has been modelled with CAD software and validated through simulation testing. Thus, the various improvements ensures mechanical sustainability, structural soundness, stability, and lightweight design.
