1P2-G02 Mechanical Design of the Small Land Mobile Robot for Environmental Monitoring

Abstract

This paper describes the mechanical design of a small land mobile robot for environmental monitoring. To realize the low-cost and strong body structure and simple locomotion mechanism having high mobility against the rough terrain, authors propose the body and the driving mechanism using the commercially available waterproof case and the magnet coupling, and the crawler using the commercially available timing belt with lugs made with spring steel wire.
