Rocker Bogie Robot

Abstract

The rocker-bogie suspension system has robust capabilities to deal with uneven terrain because of its distributing the payload over its six wheels uniformly. One of the major shortcomings of current Rocker-Bogie rovers is that they are slow. In our project, we have focused on six-wheeled rocker bogie suspension system design which has advantage of linear bogie motion in protecting the whole system from getting rollovers during high- speed operations. This has greatly increased the reliability of structure on rough terrains and also enables its higher speed exploration with same obstacle height capacity as twice the diameter of wheel. The project aims to improve some basic working so that it can perform in a better way.
