Design, fabrication and dynamic modeling of a new step-walker robot platform using Wi-Fi based controller

Abstract

In this article, a step-walker robot is introduced. In recent years too many explorer and moving robots are designed and manufactured. These kinds of robots need a mechanism for climbing stairs or steps to explore and discover all sections of a building. This introduced mechanism is an optimum mechanism in terms of energy consumption while climbing a step or stair with a specific altitude. The robot which is introduced in this article contains two axes. Each axis can change its Vertical position independently. This position changes upon the stair or step's height. When the robot meets a step or stair, it can climb by changing its wheel's axes alternatively. This robot's cinematic and 3D modeling that will be used for choosing the proper DC motors and other essentials for making robot, is done by MATLAB and CATIA software solution package.
