Driving flipper with robotic arm

摘要

A driving flipper with a robotic arm and a method for protecting the robotic arm. A robotic platform having a main frame and at least one obstacle climbing flipper with a robotic arm. The robotic arm has a folded mode substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the obstacle climbing flipper. The robotic arm has an operational mode protruding away from the longitudinal axis in an angle of at least 45 degrees.

1. A robotic platform comprising:
a main frame; a plurality of obstacle climbing flippers each mounted on said main frame and having a continuous track; a plurality of robotic arms each mounted on one of said plurality of obstacle climbing flippers; a plurality of end effectors each mounted on a distal end of one of said plurality of robotic arms; wherein each one of said plurality of robotic arms has a folded mode and an operational mode, said robotic arm is parallel to a longitudinal axis of said obstacle climbing flipper when in said folded mode and laterally protrudes away from said longitudinal axis toward another of said plurality of robotic arms when in said operational mode.
