The evolution of technology have made Robotics as an inevitable tool in the world of automation and have a huge influence in surveillance activities, material handling and military purposes too. Developing the mechanism for climbing the staircase and moving in bumpy region are meticulous task. The installation of gyroscope and sensors to maintain the stability of the system under inclined and stepped area incurs high cost and increases the weight of the system. A CaterBOT is a bio-inspired robotic mechanism constructed with two pair of ribbed belt drive, which has the motion similar to Caterpillar. The primary drive mechanism, which acts as basement of the robot, provides the translator motion. The secondary ribbed belt drive is an extended flipper arm, which enables the robot to climb the obstacles and staircase as well. The wireless control of drives enables ease operation of CaterBOT on bumpy region. The worm wheel driven flipper arm offers enough grip and maintains stability of the vehicle on jagged and steep surfaces. The CaterBOT facilitated with camera, IR sensor and temperature sensor in favour of making to use in observation and military purposes. |
