DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MULTI TERRAIN ROVER FOR MONITORING

Abstract

The ability to automate monitoring in challenging terrains, especially at high altitudes, has become a crucial component of future developments in remote area exploration. Recent advancements in mobile robotics, particularly with the progress in sensor technology and cost-effective rover designs, have led to increased interest in such applications. Mobile robotics stands out as a key technology for both domestic and industrial purposes due to its adaptability in diverse environments, leveraging a combination of heterogeneous sensors. The rover design presented here draws inspiration from NASA’s Perseverance rover, employing a rocker-bogie suspension system for terrain adaptability and Ackerman steering for precise turning.
