Design and development of six-wheeled Multi-Terrain Robot

In the past few decades demand for Multi Terrain Robot applications have been increased significantly. These robots can be employed for the purpose of security surveillance and rescue purposes in the remote areas. In remote areas the terrain is not uniform and hence stability of the robot becomes a challenging task. In this paper, a new design is proposed for the mobile robot, which aims to perform monitoring task while running on different types of terrain or real time physical environment in balanced way. A six-wheeled multi terrain robot has been developed which has capability to run in rocky and sandy areas, to move on inclined plane and to climb on stairs.
