Abstract
Modular element of module (M) for an articulated vehicle formed therefrom. The vehicle must be able to travel over various obstacles (corridors, staircases, level changes). The modules (M) are joined by double hinges (20) and have internal degrees of freedom (flexible chassis, twisting displacement, adjustment of the pitch of the load 69), so that the vehicle is given flexibility and stability. The vehicle is intended to operate in hostile or dangerous environments.
