Variable Driving Assembly for Military Robots

Military Driving Assembly Convertible Between Wheels and Tracks Based on Terrain

This technology relates to a variable driving assembly for military robots, specifically a driving device capable of mechanically switching between standard road driving mode and rough terrain driving mode.

Military robots previously required a choice between wheel and tracked systems depending on the mission environment; however, relying on a single method imposed significant operational limitations, as it could not simultaneously satisfy the requirements for high-speed driving on paved roads and traversing rough terrain.

This technology implements two driving modes on a single platform by modifying the wheel configuration through variable links and a variable driving force supply unit. This significantly enhances adaptability to diverse driving conditions.

Key Features:

• An inner frame and a plurality of driving wheels rotatably provided on the inner frame
• An outer frame provided around the perimeter of the inner frame and a pair of tracks provided to circulate on both sides
• A driving force supply unit that selectively provides driving force to at least one of the driving wheels or the tracks
• A variable link connecting the outer frame to adjust its relative height and a variable driving force supply unit that provides variable driving force
