Abstract
Modern robotic technologies have provided efficient solutions to protect workers from hazards in the work environments; such as radioactive, toxic, or explosive. This paper presents a design of a holonomic mobile robot for rough terrain that can replace the human role in the demining applications. A suspension system based on the bogie mechanism was adopted in order to overcome rough terrains. The flexible design of the robot enables it to move in any direction at any instant without changing the orientation of the body. The motion of the robot was simulated using the Pro-Engineer software and the robot stability margins for different road conditions were found in order to predict the possibility of tipping-over before any maneuver.
