Methods for increasing the locomation characteristics of the chassis of mobile robots

This paper presents options for organizing the chassis of mobile robots (MR), as well as possible ways to improve the characteristics of the chassis of a mobile robot in terms of their patency on non-deterministic surfaces.The use of robotics and robotic complexes is currently widespread in various fields of science and technology related to equipment maintenance, transportation of objects, monitoring of the state of systems, etc. One of the main representatives of robotics involved in these processes are MR, which today can have different functionality. MR components are an information-logical control system, sensors, actuators, a power supply system and a chassis with a propulsion unit. The chassis and the propeller used largely determine both the design of the MR and its functionality, the main of which is the ability to move in a non-deterministic environment and adaptability to difficult traffic conditions. To date, there is a wide variety of options for organizing the chassis of the MR, each of which has its own characteristics of work, advantages and disadvantages.This article is devoted to the issue of improving the locomotive characteristics of the MR chassis. The tasks to be solved are the consideration of options for organizing the MR chassis and the consideration of possible ways to improve the locomotion characteristics of the selected variant of the MR chassis.
