Stiffness Evaluation of Fire Rescue Robot Suspension with Hydropneumatic Components

Abstract:

The paper describes the wheeled rescue robot FRR drawn up by a team of Engineering Machines and Robots at Military University of Technology. It also shows a brief description of predicted for implementation tasks by FRR and probable problems that might occur and should be solved. Next the paper describes the method and the model which served to simulation evaluation of rigidity for robots suspension system. Describing the simulation model, used simplified assumptions and the method of calculating the basic parameters for model were described. The following chapter presents simulation that the model was tested through and some model results of the test. In the final phase of the article the conclusion and discussion is presented.
