SYNOPSIS

PROJECT NAME:
DESIGN OF BOGIE FOR ARDRO
(Advanced Roving Device for Resce O!era"ions#
INTROD$CTION%
The purpose of this project is to design and manufacturing a rescue robot unit. In
rescue like operations, a person may encounter difficulties in seeking and
assisting the victims properly, especially in unstructured environment. Therefore
using a robot to search for injured persons as well as describing the best path to
reach a victim reduces the risk in a rescue operation. In contrast, it will increase
the accuracy, safety, and the speed of a rescue operation.
One of the challenging issues in the design of the rescue robots is their ability to
handle unstructured and unstable physical conditions of the working environment.
DESIGN FEAT$RES%
The A!O has si" wheels that operate separately# back and front wheels and
four side wheels that are mounted in parallel bogies system. Its special design,
fle"ible elbows, a spring fitted in the front elbow that work as a pushing force,
makes it possible for robot to adjust rough areas and obstacles such that all si"
wheels touch the ground simultaneously.
$ach wheel is driven by its own motor. The rear motor is fi"ed permanently to the
chassis body, and the remaining five motors are on pivoting legs.
$ach side of the chassis has a pair of wheels mounted on legs. The legs are
connected by two cross bars and pivot at two points.
In order to fulfill a good rescue operation especially in uneven and unstable
terrains a rescue robot will have some features listed:
%. Adaptation and smooth movement on the uneven terrains.
&. 'assing obstacles of different si(es.
). A Tip over stability.
*. Ability to come out of holes and continue motion even when problems
occur for individual wheels.
APP&ICATIONS OF ARDRO%
+ilitary operations for underground surveillance systems vi(. bunker
operations.

escue operations for natural disasters like earth -uakes.
In fire rescue operations.
