Technology Description

The present innovation is an 8 independently powered and articulated wheeled robot chassis system with 4 degree of freedom. The system is highly stable and capable of moving on very rough terrain with a very stable payload platform. The system is designed to carry payload over very rough terrain. the system offers a very stable platform for the payload to be carried and is capable of climbing almost double its own height. The width of the vehicle can be adjusted to suit the required mission. The ground clearance of the vehicle system can be adjusted to suit the mission. There is a very high redundancy built into the design. It is very suite for the applicationin bomb disposal vehicle design and for patient wheel chair applications as it can be used to climb stairs etc.

Applications

The main use of the system is for

• Bomb Disposal Robot systems
  
• All terrain vehicles
  
• Patient wheel chair applications
  
• Industrial and warehousing vehicles

Benefits

This system address following issues found in the present technology:

• The invention can climb more than four times that can be climbed by a tracked vehicle of simillar dimension.
  
• The ground clearence is more than double of a tracked vehicle and can be increased in the field which is not possible on a tracked vehicle.
  
• The width of the vehicle can be adjusted in the field to suit the mission which is not possible in a tracked vehicle.
  
• The payload is carried very stably and is prone to approximately 1/4 th vibration compared to a tracked vehicle.
  
• This system can move in any direction ie. front, back, left, right and any other directio as specified by the operator without turning. A tracked vehicle can only move front or back and can turn on its axis to the left or right to move in that direction.
