Abstract: Aiming at the problems of moving on allterrain reliably, the transmission system analysis and modern simulation techniques were applied on the EOD robot motion mechanism design. The parameter was calculated for transmission ratio, rating power and maximum torque, and principal transmission component was verified by Finite Element Analysis. An EOD robot based on the four wheels and six tracks mechanism was put forward and tested in various environmental conditions. The experimental results indicate that the robot motion mechanism technical criteria can be achieved, and the robot can move along the slopes or stairs, stride over obstacles which indicates the EOD robot motion mechanism can be operated on allterrain.
