The passive mechanical configuration is the key innovating factor of this robot: it does

not "know" that it is climbing an obstacle. Instead, it simply advances and lets its
mechanical structure adapt to the terrain profile. There are no sensors or actuators in
the robot, except for the motorized wheels and their speed control.
Powered by 6 motors integrated inside its wheels and steered by two servos, this robot
can turn on the spot. It is constructed of anodized aluminum and the modular
electronics
allow
an
interface
through
an
RS232
bus.
SECT II is an ideal platform for developing navigation solutions for challenging
environments. Little calculation power is needed for platform stability, and the
mechanics of the robot takes care of the rest.
