Abstract - The chassis of a robotic tank system plays a vital role in supporting essential components such as motors, sensors, and payloads while ensuring the system’s performance, stability, and durability. The design of the chassis is critical, as it directly impacts the robot's ability to bear loads, withstand environmental conditions, and maintain reliable mobility. This paper discusses the importance of chassis design, focusing on load-bearing capacity, structural integrity, mobility, stability, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Key considerations include material selection, design configuration (tracked or wheeled), load distribution, environmental resilience, and integration with other system components. Analytical tools such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) are employed to simulate and optimize the chassis structure. A review of related literature highlights recent developments in battle tanks and robotic vehicle simulations. The paper aims to design and analyze a chassis structure that ensures enhanced structural integrity, optimized load distribution, material efficiency, improved mobility, and cost-effectiveness, while considering future upgrades and maintenance. The expected outcomes include a robust, efficient design that meets performance criteria and enhances operational effectiveness in various terrains. The study also provides a framework for conducting comprehensive load analysis and design optimization to ensure the chassis's longevity and adaptability.
Key Words: chassis design, mobality, stability,cost effectiveness, environmental resilience.
