drivers of cross-country vehicles

This work offers a new chassis design, namely the wheel-track, presents a mathematical model of this chassis, and also proves the advantage of the proposed design when driving the vehicle on arbitrary terrain, a rough off-road. the proposed approach is applied to design unmanned research mechanisms for other planets (mars rovers, lunar rovers, etc.) and, also, to design robots and transport of rescuers at liquidation of consequences of natural or technological disasters. this article analyzes the requirements of the chassis design of the extraterrestrial unmanned research mechanism and demonstrates the high compliance of the proposed approach with results. this study proposes and investigates a mathematical model of wheel-track, demonstrates the optimization of the proposed mathematical model to machine computing, and shows the flexibility and scalability of the mathematical model. the proposed design is an attempt to combine the advantages of walking and wheel types of travel through one mechanism.
