Development of stair-climbing mechanism with passive crawlers (Analysis of limitation for crawler rotation angle and test vehicle performance)

This paper describes a novel mechanism with passive crawlers that will realize a stair-climbing rescue robot with simple system. The proposed mechanism is called “SMART-III”, it is named after “Simple Mechanism Adaptive for Rough Terrain”. Some quasi-static dynamic analysis were implemented and effe...
