Zusammenfassung:An articulated tracked vehicle that has a main frame includes a pair of parallel main tracks. Each main track includes a flexible continuous belt coupled to a corresponding side of the main frame. A forward section includes an elongated arm pivotally coupled to the main frame near the forward end of the main frame. The arm has a length sufficiently long to allow the forward section to extend below a main section in at least some degrees of rotation of the arm, and a length shorter than the length of the main section. The center of mass of the main section is located forward of the rearmost point reached by the end of the arm in its pivoting about a transverse axis. The main section is contained within the volume defined by the main tracks and is symmetrical about a horizontal plane, thereby allowing inverted operation of the robot.
