Design and development of the mechanical platforms for a multi-terrain rover

The thesis is articulated on two parts: the first is the feasibility study for mechanical platform UGV that consists in range analysis, battery sizing, benchmarking of different solutions, first attempt of powertrain sizing, steering, suspensions, tyres and rims, with the goal of getting an innovative result. Then, the subsequent technical specification was written, together with the bill of materials. The second is about design, in particular the development of suspension mathematical model and vehicle CAD model, that includes the study of different versions of the rover, for example different mechanical setup for suspensions arms and powertrain
