INTRODUCTION
 Autonomous Robots perform desired tasks without
human intervention
 All Terrain Autonomous Robot –designed to take part in
military assignments
 The robot should navigate through
 Gravels
 Sand and Mud
 Corrugations
 Slope
 Hazardous Area
MECHANICAL STRUCTURE
It consists of:
 Chassis

 Main frame

 Base frame

 Transmission unit

 Wheel block

 Track belt
CHASSIS

 Structure consists of L-shaped frame

 Slightly tapered to hold leading wheel

 Main wheels connected to base frame

 Main frame is used to carry payload

WHEEL BLOCK

 It consists main wheel, leading wheel, roller wheel

 Vulcanized rubber material is used for track belt

 Wheels are made up of Nylon material

 This belt avoids slippage

ENGINE
 TYPE : 2-stroke

 DISPLACEMENT : 35 cu.cm

 COMPRESSION RATIO : 8.0:1

 MAX OUTPUT : 1 hp

 MAX TORQUE : 1.0 N-m

TRANSMISSION CALCULATION

 It is designed to carry payload of 75kg.

 If diameter of the driven wheel of the robot: 20cm

 Assuming the engine speed at 3000rpm, the overall gear

ratio of the drive train is 30:1.

 Hence the main wheel rotates at 100 rpm.

TRANSMISSION CALCULATION
 Distance covered by main wheel per revolution: 2*3.14*0.1 =
0.628 m

 Distance covered by robot in one min at engine speed of

3000rpm is 0.628*100 = 62.8m/min

 Speed of robot at engine speed 3000rpm: 3.768 km/hr.

 Hence the payload greater than 75kg can be easily carried.

CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH
 It engages when engine speed reaches 1000 rpm
REDUCING GEAR
 It reduces the speed in the ratio 10:1
 It transmits the power to the Differential unit
BRAKING UNIT
 Drum Brake is used
 Fitted to the main driving wheel

 Actuated by solenoid
WORKING
 Engine power is transmitted to the clutch by using V-belt

 Then from clutch, it is transmitted to gear reduction box, speed

reduction is about 10:1

 Now transmitted to the differential unit, speed reduction is

about 3:1

 Therefore, from engine to driving wheels speed reduction is

about 30:1 and hence more torque is produced
FABRICATED AND ASSEMBLED ROBOT
RESULTS
 Tested in all sorts of terrain and achieved easy traction

 It withstands for payload about 80 kg

 Slight vibration is produced by the Engine

CONCLUSION
 A Robot that can navigate in all terrain and contaminated
environment is developed

 This robot enables easy navigation and good surveillance

system

 Remote monitoring can be done by mounting vision

cameras in the robot
