This application for patent is a non-provisional application claiming the priority of U.S. provisional application for patent Ser. No. 60/194,922 filed Apr. 4, 2000.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to wheeled platforms and wheeled vehicles in general, and in particular, relates to apparatus, configurations and methods for providing highly mobile wheeled platforms suitable for a variety of uses, including, but not limited to, robotic devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The application of robotic devices and general-purpose transport platforms has enjoyed enormous growth in recent years, across all sectors of industrial, military and consumer/household operations, for a range of tasks limited only by the imagination of those employing such devices. These have included such disparate applications as surveillance, bomb disposal, industrial maintenance and household chores. In response to these demands, a number of configurations have been developed to provide enhanced-mobility vehicle structures that can be used in transport and robotic device applications over rough surfaces or terrain. Representative examples of such configurations are disclosed in the following U.S. patents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,144,180 U.S. Pat. No. 5,833,248 U.S. Pat. No. 5,742,975 U.S. Pat. No. 5,579,857 U.S. Pat. No. 5,515,934 U.S. Pat. No. 5,507,358 U.S. Pat. No. 5,323,867 U.S. Pat. No. 4,993,912 U.S. Pat. No. 4,932,491
