A remotely operated vehicle for challenging terrains is designed for users who wish to control the vehicle from a distance, avoiding the dangers and effort of direct operation. Such devices are commonly used in space exploration or for mowing steep slopes, such as vineyards or highway embankments. The idea for developing the tracked vehicle came from a client who wanted to test the mechanical part of the construction on steep terrains. The main idea behind the development was to create a multifunctional device that could be used for various tasks, such as mowing, pulling, or mulching. Since most devices on the market are specialized, the universal design offers a competitive advantage. The goal of this thesis is to design and integrate components into the mechanical part of the vehicle to enable remote control of the tracked system.
The introduction explains what a remotely operated device is. Before starting development, it is essential to understand the driving characteristics of a tracked vehicle and the conditions under which it will be used. It is also necessary to review the current market to simplify the development process by utilizing existing solutions. The design chapter describes the individual components used to establish the control system. The thesis also outlines the process of developing the electronic and software parts of the device and assesses the risks associated with developing such a system. This risk assessment helps predict potential issues and ensures that the device is safe and user-friendly. By combining the developed electromechanical system with subsequent testing, the client will be able to further improve the mechanical part of the device.
