Fabrication of a stair climbing vehicle for industrial and rescue application using appropriate technology

摘要

Stair climbing robotic vehicles can be very efficient tools to speed up search and rescue operations. They should be quick and agile and, at the same time, be able to deal with rough terrain and even to climb stairs. This paper presents the implementation of a stair-climbing vehicle having a robotic arm fabricated not only for the rescue operations but also for any types of industrial application. When an object is taken in front of it, then it grips the object as well as can measure the weight of the objects and sort them according to the weight.
