  • Abstract
    In this paper we describe the motivation for building a six-wheeled robotic vehicle with active suspension to test mobility improvement concepts on rough terrain. The vehicle is being designed and constructed as a final year class project in the School of Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Technology, Sydney. The configuration of the designed vehicle and the integration of the sensing and computation systems are described.
