Characteristics

The developed prototype has an approximate weight of 1kg, sizes 31,5cm height, 21cm large and 12,5cm long.

This platform is composed by three main blocks:

 

First block: Two wheeled-legs that allow the robot to elevate himself and advance in order to overcome obstacles.

Second block: Central module that unites both caterpillars, supports the wheeled-legs and accommodates the lifting mechanism. Due to the forces generated by the ascending and descending movement, this structure is reinforced.

Third block: Formed by both caterpillars, disposed side by side, this module is responsible for the robot’s locomotion in plain terrains and contains all the motors (including the ones used for lifting).
