Preparation of the mechanical suspension design Categories: Hardware Assembly Timelines: RoboMobil-Timeline (English)

The ROboMObil is an electro-mobility concept based on intelligent central control of four Wheel Robots, which integrate the drivetrain, brakes, steering and dampers. The Wheel Robots are attached to a special designed double wishbone suspension system. The rocker directs the forces of the Wheel Robot into the spring and damper. This sophisticated mechanical construction gives the constructive space for maximum steering angles from -25° to +95°. The vehicle is propelled by four in-wheel motors with electro-hydraulic disk brakes. In the end of the design optimization process, a detailed CAD model of the entire vehicle was available for virtual testing.
