Track: Design and Analysis
Abstract
Alongside a myriad of applications, robots are widely used in hostile environment exploration, search and rescue management, surveillance and target tracking. The authors evaluate the design and construction of an unmanned ground vehicle developed on Arduino open-source platform and focus on minimizing the effects of ground induced vibrations on overall operability of such robots. Due to its complex geometry,
the stiffness of the frame is evaluated and optimized by Finite Element Methods.
