This paper presents the innovative design of a mobile robot capable of navigating through varied terrain and climbing up obstacles. For the surface motion a system of two independently actuated wheels was used in order to confer a high flexibility and manoeuvrability to the robot. For the climbing part a screw-nut mechanism was used to lift up the robot and at the same time change its centre of gravity as to provoke a fall at a selected high. Key words: mobile robot, stair climbing
