Abstract :
This text documents the design and construction of a robotic platform type exploration rover to move over an unstructured environment. It is tele-operated and has the ability to cross vertical obstacles up to 10 cm in height, with an inclination of not more than 15° from the horizontal. It also has the capability of transporting a maximum of 2 kg payload, even in adverse weather conditions such as dust and moisture presence.
