Abstract

A tracked robotic crawler capable of multiple movement moves is disclosed. In. one embodiment, the tracked robotic crawler (10) includes at least one frame unit (12), the frame unit having a continuous track (14) rotatably coupled thereto. Disposed on the at least one frame unit is at least one articulated arm (18a, 18b), the arm being movable relative to the frame unit in at least one dimension. The articulated arm helps to improve mobility of the tracked robotic crawler in various environments.
