The Design of a Scissor Stair Climbing Robot

Abstract

With the rapid development of robot technology, the scope of application of robots is becoming wider and wider, changing people's life and working style. In this study, we developed a stair climbing robot, without changing McKenna's wheel under the premise of omnidirectional mobile chassis movement way, the fork lift scissors mechanism to complete the climb the steps of the robot movement, with the help of dynamic simulation and finite element analysis tool to optimize the robot mechanical structure, improve the performance of the robot, and in physical test proved the feasibility of the design. We expect this stair climbing robot to expand the range of indoor robot operations at the lowest cost.
