off-road robotics platform (rovers)

thingiverse

Demo: https://youtu.be/JpDcNY6kJAw Hi, the main goal of this project is to create a low-cost and easy-to-assemble off-road robotics platform. This system works exceptionally well for off-road applications. (see demo video) I've already used this off-road robotics platform for various projects: (autonomous solar rovers, Fpv crawler, long-distance off-road exploration robots). I'll eventually publish those projects as well, but for now I'm focusing on developing documentation and assembly videos to make this off-road robotics platform an accessible DIY project for anyone interested in off-road robotics. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to ask in the comment section. Have fun! Nice feature: I utilize strings to connect the differential suspension system instead of tie-rods or gears. This reduces the number of moving parts, thereby decreasing the cost and complexity of the rovers. Link for parts: (I've included Amazon links to products with similar specifications to those I used in this off-road robotics platform. You can likely find some of these components elsewhere at a lower price and in the right quantities for the project) TT motor 1:120 reduction: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07DPNQMXS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Mhf4EbDJ1WETF Motor Drive: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01KBTNHS6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_4qf4EbWX1NRFC Battery pack: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B085N58SSB/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_1mf4EbC9Z1HHV HC-06 Bluetooth module: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00PJXG9NA/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Ynf4EbGFGWDBA Arduino nano: (you can also use Arduino Uno or Arduino mega) https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B0816SGKHH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Arduino nano break-out board: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B07YTZSR72/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Screw 5/16-18, length 1in: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B081F87WC1/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_8of4Eb7AZ1PMJ Skate bearing: (OD = 22mm, ID = 8mm, thickness = 7mm) https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B07TWZ7X38/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
