ABSTRACT
In the paper, a kinematical model of the robot moving on uneven terrain has been presented.
Configuration of the robot placed on uneven terrain is described, presenting the redundant
set of variables that create the state of the robot. Inverse kinematics tasks have been defined,
which as a result of various assumptions, gives the robot configuration. To solve the
kinematics tasks, adequate closed-loop equations have been defined. Velocity equations of
the point of the wheel contact with the ground have been presented with respect to the
velocity of the platform itself and velocities of the robot actuators. Assuming constraints of
the wheel movement causing a no-slip condition, dependencies between those velocities have
been determined. This allowed one to determine velocities of the robot drives, so that the
platform moves in the way specified by the user.
