Original abstract

The paper introduces mathematical models of a skid steered mobile platform for robotics. The platform consists of a rectangular steel construction with four wheels. Two banks of two drive wheels on each side are linked to two DC electrical motors via chain on sprocket drive and gearing. The two drive assemblies for the left and right banks are identical but they operate independently to steer the vehicle by skid. Wheels of the vehicle consist of rims and shallow tread pneumatic tyres. Four models of tyre – ground forces are used for modelling of motion of the system. Behaviour of the model is compared with real experiments.
