Initial stage of developing a rolling robot to move on various terrains

This paper presents the initial stage of developing a rolling robot that can be move on various terrain to assist human in searching landslide victim. This development stage involved the designing of roll mechanism include the wheels' design, mechanical structure and material selection. Arduino act as the controller and using the RF signal to manually control the robot. To test the robot, it has to move on different type of terrains and slope for a specific distance to imitate the landslide condition. The speed of wheels is analyzed to imitate the robot performance when moving on various terrains.
