Construction and Modification Of A Rocker-Bogie Mechanism Using Solar PV Cell System

Abstract

The project was carried out to assess the Construction and Modification of a Rocker Bogie Mechanism using Solar PV cell system and designing to be used at slow speeds which is capable of overcoming obstacles that are on the order of the size of a wheel. We will develop a method of driving a rocker-bogie vehicle so that it can effectively step over most obstacles rather than impacting and climbing over them without any mechanical modification to existing designs only a change in control strategy. When operating at low speed (greater than 10 cm/second), dynamic shocks are minimized when this happens, rovers will have to operate at human level speeds (1 m/second). In this project is increased the stability of the rocker-bogie system by expanding its support polygon, making it more stable and adaptable while moving at high speed, but keeping its original robustness against obstacles. It is capable to sustain itself in hostile environments and send temperature, humidity, water availability information to a control room on earth
