This thesis addresses the design of a modular mobile robotic platform for operation in outdoor
environments, with a focus on agriculture. The first part analyses existing mobile robotic
platforms and their design characteristics, based on which key technical requirements for the
development of the new platform are formulated. Special emphasis is placed on the modular
design, which enables flexibility, scalability, and easier integration of individual functional
units.
Based on the analysis, a mobile robotic platform with four-wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel
steering (4WS) is designed. The drive and steering modules, suspension, support structure, and
power supply system are presented. Preliminary calculations were performed for the individual
subsystems, and appropriate components were selected to serve as the basis for the conceptual
mechanical and electrical implementation of the platform.
The result of this thesis is a conceptual design of a modular robotic platform, supported by a
3D computer model and a bill of materials for the main structural elements. The presented
solution enables further development of the system, prototype fabrication, and experimental
verification of its operation under real-world working conditions.
