  • Abstract
    "VmaxCarrier2" is an omni-directional mobile robot with step-climbing capability, which can be used as a compact, quiet, and durable transportation vehicle in cluttered and cramped environments. In this study ,we discuss the step-climbing sequence of this omni-directional mobile robot with step-climbing capability. In addition that, we show some motions on steps and slope of this vehicle.
