Mobile robots are the need of the hour. There are different designs of platforms for different mobile robot. In most of the mobile robots four wheeled platforms are used with simple designs. But in mobile robots the design of the platform is the most important part. The design of the platform will dictate the working conditions of the robot. The objectives of this paper are to Design, develop and test a robo cart on rocker bogie mechanism to serve as a mobility platform, suitable for testing planetary surface exploration technologies in harsh earth environments. The design will focus on incorporating features that are believed to be essential for most planetary exploration missions based on research of past and current rovers. The rover will aim to recognize the size and weight constraints that all space bound vehicles face. This paper discusses about a six wheeled robotic platform. The design is done in solid works software to the exact dimensions and analyzed in ANSYS for load taking capacity. This platform is powered with a battery of 12V and each wheel is powered with DC servo motors.
