Abstract

This paper presents the patented mechanical concept for steering and level control of a mobile robot equipped with four driving units and the methods that lead to the development of this mechatronic system. The mobile robot exhibits excellent maneuverability and considerable advantages when moving in difficult environments such as rough landscapes. The paper discusses a refined approach to develop mechatronic systems which is based on the well-known V-model. The refined approach allows a conscious planning and control of a mechatronic design process.
