Description
Taking stairs by a robot is always a huge challenge for engineers. Optimization of several engineering fields should be done to reach this goal. Due to the various applications of stair climbing robots the design of them is unique for each robot. Because of high price of electrical and mechanical components in a stair climbing robot, every new design in this field should be simulated by suitable simulation tools to test the reliability of that. Even the performance of a robot could be modified by simulation. To reach this goal all simulation steps must contain all dynamics and specifications of the robot. In this project we would design and simulate a stair climbing robot to take stairs to be used in oil industry. So the stability and precise of robot is really important in this case. The control unit in this case should be able to control the stability and movements of the robot very well. We have done this project in 3 steps:
Step one: Conceptual designStep two: Detail design
Step three: Modeling and simulation
