The improvement in robotics and in movement of robot platforms is a continuing pursuit. Over the past years there is a noticeable progress in development of existing mobile robot platforms designed to move over uneven terrains. Reason for this trend is increased demand for this systems is application in different critical situations such as: (searc...

... I NTRODUCTION In order to develop ground mobile robot which is capable to carry specific type of robotic arms and which has to be capable to move over different types of unstructured and structured terrains, there is a lot of things that we must take in to account. We can learn a lot about this subject by analyzing the other people’s experiences: such as space exploration mission’s robots, robots developed for search and rescue for survivors after earthquakes, Fig. 1 and to help fire departments to better assess critical situations Fig. 2, situation assessment and decontamination of nuclear power plants after incidents Fig. 3 and in different environmental accidents because this type robots is configurations very similar to which we want to develop. Reconfigurable systems can be defined as those that can reversibly achieve distinct physical configurations (or states), through alteration of system form or function, in order to achieve a desired outcome within acceptable reconfiguration time and ...

Rough terrain control optimization for space rovers has become a popular and challenging research field. Improvements can be achieved concerning power consumption, reducing the risk of wheels digging in and increasing ability of overcoming obstacles.In this paper, we propose a terrain profiling and wheel speed adjustment approach based on terrain s...
