Description
For autonomous mobile robots it is important
to have the capability to plan
and reach a defi ned goal. In this article,
we present a novel mobile robot for urban
search and rescue based to achieve
highly locomotion capabilities. The preliminary
aim is to build rescue robots
which could be able to drive in an unstructured
environment and search for
victims. It is critical in many mobile robotics
applications to characterise the
presence and position of objects around
the robot. This is the case whether
the mobile robot is under autonomous
or teleoperative control. To autonomously
navigate on rough terrain is a
challenging problem for mobile robots,
requiring the ability to decide which
parts of the environment can be traversed
or have to be bypassed. A new
mechanism is developed to drive sideways
which could be helpful especially
in diffi cult curved staircase or uneven
terrain.
