Abstract

The present paper addresses the design and construction stages of a skid steer wheeled mobile robot (WMR) configuration. The pieces employed in the WMR were designed to be compatible with the extruded aluminium profile widely used in industry, facilitating subsequent WMRs designs. The pieces were designed using Solid Works and, later, simulated via Solid Works Simulation software. Additionally, images of both the 3D model and the real prototype are shown.
