Course detail

The Morphological Analysis and Mechanics of Mobile Robots Undercarriadges

FSI-9MLUAcad. year: 2019/2020

There is shown an overview of general relations of constructional process in engineering (creative) activities with regard to the projection and designing of new technical objects. Mobile robots (AL – MR) belong, without any doubt, to these objects and there is selected the method of Morphological Analysis (MA) as a device to analyse the future structure of AL – MR. There are analysed all basic constructional nodes, groups and components from which are Mobile Robots consisted of. The evaluation of variant solutions of new AL – MR is then pursued by the methods of multi-criterial assessment. The Attention is also devoted to basic engineering computations in mechanics of Locomotor Systems, and especially to the wheeled or omnidirectional undercarriages.
