AbstractIn a collapsed structure of the disasters (earthquake, hurricane, ... ) human rescuers have a very short time (about 48 hours) to fmd trapped victims; otherwise the chance of fmding victims still alive is nearly zero. In these critical situations mobile robots have been proposed to help rescuers to perform rescue-tasks. Robots which work under disasters environment are called Rescue-Robot. Stairs-climbing ability is the crucial performance of mobile robot for urban environment mission. The track type mobile mechanism is selected for the locomotion of the robot because of its advantages such as high stability, easy to control, low terrain pressure, and continuous drive. Stairs-climbing is a complicated process for a tracked mobile robot under kinematics and dynamics constraints. This thesis provides the design of robot, the tele-operation and tele-monitoring. The static and dynamic analyses are also applied in the climbing stairs process. Finally, experimental and analytical results of moving on floor, stairs-climbing, ... have been made on the robot
