ROBOTIZED PLATFORM WITH EIGHT DRIVING WHEELS HAVING LOW LOCATED ROTATION CENTERS OF WHEELS AND CHASSIS SUPPORTS

摘要

The invention is related to mechanics, in particular to devices, configurations and methods that provides high mobility and wide use of the wheeled platforms int. al. development of mobile robots. The goal is to provide a platform with high mobility and ability to move in rough terrain and ensure good contact with the ground. The platform includes central chassis, eight driving wheels, wheel pair joints, and independent chassis joints that allow to move independently of the left and right side wheel sections. The chassis joints maintain the chassis in balance during motion. Chassis and wheel pair joints rotation centers are placed below or on the same height with wheel rotation centers. This increases effectiveness of the platforms when overcoming complex obstacles.
