Design and terrain adaptability analysis of a life detection robot for battlefield rescue missions

With the development and wide application of advanced weapons, the battlefield environment has gradually become more complex and harsher, which greatly increases the risk of rescuers performing search and rescue tasks. In view of this situation, this paper proposes a six-wheeled portable reconfigurable robot, Antibot, which is used to replace rescuers to perform life detection tasks in complex and unknown environments. This robot can adapt to the terrain through its unique three-rocker-leg passive suspension, and can be folded up for users to carry. The terrain adaptability of the robot is analyzed through mathematical modelling and numerical simulations, and verified by outdoor experiments. This robot has the advantages of simple structure and strong terrain adaptability, which has broad application prospects in battlefield rescue missions.
