Modelling the Dynamics of a Mobile Land Robot

The research focuses on a land-based robot consisting of a six-wheeled platform with independent suspension, onto which a short-range missile launcher is mounted. This study aims to analyse the dynamics of this mobile land robot equipped with weaponry. A model representing the dynamics of both the platform and the launcher, including the missiles, was developed. The model, formulated as a discrete system comprising solids and flexible elements, explores variability patterns in independent coordinates for both conservative and non-conservative models. The study reveals a need of modifying system parameters and structure to address the occurrence of the unfavourable phenomenon of rumble.
