Analysis of General and Specific Requirements for a Mobile Robot to Work in Special Environments

This paper will introduce the need for a robot to work in special environments and gives one possible solution with mobile robotics. In addition, it will present the research objectives, general and specific technical requirements analysis for a mobile robot to work in special environments (with explosive/dangerous gases to humans, potential explosions). This research attempts to use principles of user-centered design to guide the design of a special mobile robot. Designing a mobile robotic system must address the needs of its potential users, potential beneficiaries. Some considerations about the locomotion system, mechanical design, actuation system are presented too. This work is a part of industry-research institute-university collaboration and its impact on education is very important.
