Even though, several design configuration exist for such applications, still extreme operations may require new type of design. An example for an extreme operations is that a mobile robot needs to be moved on a curved path in a confined space. In order to accomplish the task, mobile robot requires new type of body. This study proposes a new type of design of a mobile robot, which has a foldable chassis. The folding angle of the chassis could be adjusted according to the desired road conditions such as L-shaped road. After fabricating the proposed mobile robot, experiments are performed to determine the kinematic behavior capability of the foldable wheeled-mobile robot motion on a L-shaped path. The results demonstrate that the proposed design is feasible, and foldable wheeled-mobile robot can be used on curved paths.
