C"APTER#$ INTROD%CTION
The purpose of this project is to design and manufacturing a rescue robot bogie. In
rescue like operations, a person may encounter difficulties in seeking and assisting the
victims properly, especially in unstructured environment. Therefore using a robot to search
for injured persons as well as describing the best path to reach a victim reduces the risk in a
rescue operation. In contrast, it will increase the accuracy, safety, and the speed of a rescue
operation.
One of the challenging issues in the design of the rescue robots is their ability to
handle unstructured and unstable physical conditions of the working environment.
In order to fulfill a good rescue operation especially in uneven and unstable terrains a rescue
robot must have some features listed:
1. daptation and smooth movement on the uneven terrains.
!. "assing obstacles of different si#es.
$. Tip over stability.
%. bility to come out of holes and continue motion even when problems occur for
individual wheels.
The main structure is based on a shrimp mechanism. s a general rule, rover robots are
more adaptable and stable than walking robots. They are less complicated and more efficient
in unstructured environments. The only deficiency in shrimp rovers is that they cannot
generally climb too high.
In order to fulfill the above re&uirements the '('O will have the mechanical design as per
given below:
The '('O has si) wheels that operate separately* back and front wheels and four
side wheels that are mounted in parallel bogies system. Its special design, fle)ible elbows, a
spring fitted in the front elbow that work as a pushing force, makes it possible for robot to

adjust rough areas and obstacles such that all si) wheels touch the ground
simultaneously+fig.1.
-ach wheel is driven by its own motor. The rear motor is fi)ed permanently to the chassis
body, and the remaining five motors are on pivoting legs.
-ach side of the chassis has a pair of wheels mounted on legs. The legs are connected by two
cross plates and pivot at two points.
ig.1 'obot fle)ibility in /onve) 0 /oncave environment.
The wheels are coupled so that the force distribution be the best possible. The spring
and dimensions of the robot are designed in a way that when it is standing on a planar
surface, forces acted on all si) wheels are the same.
This robot is somewhat similar in motion to the sea shrimp. The idea of using a
shrimp like mechanism in climbing the obstacles was first demonstrated in -" 213. This
'obot is similar to 'ocky4 2!3, 5ojourer 2$3 and 6arsokhod 2%3 in some parts but adding a
four7link mechanism in front of the robot has made it more efficient encountering the
obstacles+fig.! b.

In the same manner fire rescue operations also re&uired to search the victims inside

team also to survive inside fire regions.
In case of gas tragedies in any industry it is very difficult to survive inside the
affected region because of the harmful gases. nd rescue members face difficulties to search
the workers in time. It is &uite possible to reduce the number of victims if they are searched
in a lesser time.

One of the major challenging issues for army is to secure the national borders from
terrorists. In case of mountains and hilly areas at a very long height it is difficult to breath for
army persons due to lack of o)ygen and pressure.
e all are very well known about the projects from various space organi#ations like
?5 and I5'O. The robots are sent to the space and they send us the information about the
environment present there. One of the major problems for robots is to move on the surface of
planets. There may be various types of obstacles or hindrances in the paths of such robots
which is to be overcome by them.

These all respects motivate us to build a device which can work as a rescue team

members is to handle the unstructured environment.
Thus our project objective is to make a device which can handle the unstructured

C"APTER#- DESIGN OF ARIO%S E'E+ENTS OF DEICE
A. Design of fron for/ 1in/ages:
The robot;s front fork has three roles as described below:
. The spring makes it possible for wheels to touch the ground all the time.
8. hen the robot encounters an obstacle* the hori#ontal force acting on the front wheel
creates a tor&ue around the instantaneous rotating center of the front wheel. The four
bar mechanism design in the front wheel, shows that the instant center is set under the
hori#ontal line, and therefore causes the wheel to move up accordingly.
/. hen the front wheel is going up, spring is compressed and energy is stored in the
front wheel. lthough, other wheels are not in a good condition during climbing and
they donGt touch the ground completely, but this stored energy helps them to move up
easier. igure shows the performance of the front fork in passing obstacles.
'('O behavior is completely dependant on the characteristics of the front fork. (esign
criteria of front fork are:
• Inclination to move upward via obstacle climbing.
• Tendency of the robot to move forward while the front wheel is climbing. "roper
range of ascending and descending.
• 5ufficient storage of energy in the spring mounted on the mechanism to help the other
parts in climbing.
6eeting the first criterion deserves a large force component on the coupler curve in
the direction which causes the upward motion. 8elow fig.1% shows the coupler curve of a
mechanism in three different situations.

ig.1% coupler curve of a mechanism in three different situations.
s seen in the fig.1@, the less the coupler curve angle, the more the upward
component of force will be. Cence only small angles meet our re&uirement for part1. On the
other hand, to have upward motion the instantaneous of rotation of link $ relative to the body
must be under the line which is in direction hori#ontal force. In this situation tor&ue of
hori#ontal force about instantaneous center of rotation +I/' is positive +counterclockwise
as shown in fig.%.

ig.1A "ositive Tor&ue of orce 'elative to I/'
If we want to have hJ9 in total scaling time the main idea is keeping the dimensions
of links ! and % near each other to make the center of rotation farther away. In this approach
the coupler curve angle should be too small during the upward motion of the front wheel. or
the second criterion it is enough to have a small coupler curve angle relative to hori#ontal,
but for a good range of ascending0descending this angle shouldn;t be too small. Therefore we
have to compromise between these two goals for a good range of ascending 0descending and
minimum tor&ue in climbing. hen the front wheel falls in holes, the resultant force on the
mechanism should help it out. lso to avoid locking the front fork when getting down the
stairs we shouldn;t approach to the Kdead pointL of the mechanism.

joining center point to the circle point can guide point from 1 to !. 5imilar discussion is
valid for circle point 8 and its conjugate center point +fi)ed pivot Ob .
In rigid body guidance +i.e. motion generation a designer has the choice of selecting
position of line 8 anywhere in the body or its e)tension. Thus in guiding a rigid body
through two positions three free choices e)ists for selecting a pair of circle point and
corresponding center point: two choices in respect of independent variables ) and y for point
a in the coordinate frame and one in respect of location of fi)ed pivot Oa anywhere along
mid7normal of line joining two positions 1 and ! of point . Therefore three infinites of
solution are possible for fi)ing a pair of circle point and center point in constructing a %7bar
linkage for rigid body guidance. -ven if it is not possible to locate fi)ed pivot O 8 on the mid7

"arts of the robot structure are the fork and parallel bogies that were considered
earlier. The other part connects back wheel with those three parts and is e)plained in this
section. 'obot structure is similar to a bo) that connects the wheels, as its nodes, together
and transfers loads from them to ground. 5election from the various forms available was
based on these notes:
Cigh strength and low weight that have lead to a holed structure.
The structure is made from plates, similar to a house structure. The batteries +one of the
densest and most sensitive parts of the robot, electrical wires, and other parts of robot are
located within these plates.
inally, the KbackboneL or structure of the middle of the robot is in complete

motors.
(espite the e)pense and large amount of machining time, re&uired for reducing
structure weight, it is very effective in its purpose as robot structure and does its best in
increasing robot beautifully due to its harmony with other parts.

The wheel is balanced if the friction force fulfils the e&uation:

This case represents static friction.
If the static friction force canGt balance the system, the wheel slips and the friction force

The above e&uations suggest that there are two ways to reduce wheel slip. irst, assume that

knowing the real static friction coefficient. The second method is used here, because it is
more robust. Cowever, determination of parameters T and ? re&uire a model of the mobile
robot. 'olling resistance is another important aspect to the &uasi7static model, and is
therefore reviewed here. static model balances the forces and moments on a system to
remain at rest or maintain a constant speed. 5uch a system is an ideal case and does not
include resistance to movement. The rolling resistance is introduced in order to complete the
model. This results in a &uasi7static model. or a motori#ed wheel +fig.!@,we have:

the friction tor&ue as dependant on the normal force applied on the wheel. greater normal

independent from the tor&ue of the motor. 8ut we have to use this tor&ue to overcome the
spring resistance.

and wheels etc e&uals to Akg.

?ow from above formula it is very well known that friction force depends upon Z,
which depends on the wheel7soil interaction.
In such case we assume Z as 1, which is ma)imum possible value. Thus,

C"APTER#7 SCOPE FOR F%T%RE )OR,
'obotics is the very fast evolving field of research and development. In today
scenario robots are used in various type of machining, assembling, painting and many other
processes in industries. ccuracy and degree of reliability on robots can be seen by knowing
that typical surgeries, operations etc have been doing successfully. =arious countries are
sending there satellite to planets to know about the whether and surface conditions. These all
things have a very large contribution by robots. 'obots developed for space missions are
using various sensors and data communication techni&ues. e are suggesting some
techni&ues and devices by which improvement is possible in working of '('O. These can
be listed as:
1. (esign Improvement:
ll the joints used in '('O are rotary. 8y using bearing at those joints we can
reduce the friction and finally transmission losses.
8y using hub motors we can reduce the si#e of assembly comparatively. e have a
design concept for wheel assembly also +fig.$A . ig shows a concept of designing the
wheel in such a manner that motor can be easily fitted inside the inner periphery of it.

!. 5ensor based navigation:
The objective of the sensor based navigation of a mobile robot is to reach the target in
any unknown workspace, cluttered with obstacles of any shape, si#e and orientation. Thedecision for the proper turn angle of the mobile robot is taken based on the sensory
information and the target location with respect to the current location of the mobile
robot.
$. 5olar energy powering system:
5olar energy is a renewable energy resource. nd we can use solar cells on '('O body
by which the powering system can be more efficient and independent form electric charging
and it will be able to work continuously.
%. 6ine detection:
/urrently, more than 199 million anti7personnel mines are under the ground all over the
world. These mines not only disturb the economic development of mine7buried nations, but
also injure or kill more than !999 people a month. s a result, the removal of landmines has
become a global emergency. Fnder this ultimate environment, a roving robot may be an
effective and efficient means of detecting and removing mines while ensuring the safety of
local residents and people engaged in the removal work.
The mine detection sensor has a mi)ed sensor which means a metal detector and a radar
sensor. nd, anti7personnel mines and anti7tank mines could be detected by the mi)ed sensor.
