Design and Development of a Terrain Adaptive Mobile Robot

摘要

Scientists and researchers worldwide are developing systems that prove functional over more extended periods and overcome a certain level of terrain undulations. The problems faced while designing a system are issues regarding compliance, endurance, communication, and feedback. Systems taking care of all these issues in a coherent manner are rare. This paper demonstrates the development and analysis involved in designing a Terrain Adaptive Mobile Robot (TAMR) that can successfully address all the above-mentioned issues. MSC ADAMS was used to test the robot's virtual prototype while moving over an obstacle, and Matlab Simulink was used to design the Control System Architecture. The individual systems incorporated in the robot are explained in the different sections of the paper lucidly.
