| Abstract | According to the terrain features of the irregular environment, we propose a novel mobile mechanism of the transformable wheel-track robot (TWTR). The TWTR can adapt autonomously to the irregular environment by transforming the track configuration or by changing the locomotion mode between track mode and wheel mode. The TWTR mechanism consists of a control system unit and two symmetric transformable wheel-track units. As the mobile mechanism of TWTR, the wheel-track unit is composed of a transformable track mechanism and a drive wheel mechanism. The drive system of the wheel-track unit provides two outputs in different form only by one servo motor, or rather enables the wheel-track unit to have the abilities to transform the configuration of the track and to make the robot move by wheel or by track. In this paper, we design the parameters of track mechanism by parametric optimization based on genetic algorithm, and design the parameters of the drive wheel mechanism according to the configuration features of the wheel-track unit. The validity of the parameters is demonstrated by simulation on the robot transforming the track configuration and changing the locomotion mode. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
