This study presents a design methodology for a six-wheeled Rocker-Bogie Robot optimized for navigating stairs while maintaining stability. The proposed approach considers key parameters such as maximum step height, and minimum step length required for successful ascent and descent. The robot’s control system ensures wheel contact is regained during stair-climbing. Simulations and experimental results validate the robot’s ability to adapt to stairs and recover from potential instabilities. Indoor and Outdoor Robot, commonly utilized in applications such as delivery, and guidance, face significant mobility limitations due to environmental constraints, with stairs being one of the primary obstacles. This study also categorizes existing locomotion mechanisms, summarizes sensing methods, and proposes evaluation criteria for stair-climbing performance. By enabling qualitative comparisons of current systems and identifying essential design parameters, this work aims to contribute to the development of reliable, efficient, and versatile stair-climbing robots for complex indoor and outdoor environments.
