Patent Images
1. A robotic platform comprising:
- a main frame;
at least one obstacle climbing flipper mounted on said main frame having a moving mechanism and having robotic arm mounted on said at least one obstacle climbing flipper having a proximal end and a distal end; and
an end effector mounted on said distal end;
wherein said robotic arm has a folded mode and an operational mode, when said robotic arm being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said obstacle climbing flipper when in said folded mode and protrudes away from said longitudinal axis in an angle of at least 45 degrees from said longitudinal axis when in said operational mode.
