Four-flipper tracked robot chassis
Reference figures from Anvol's engineers for a similar build: development $12,000, unit cost about $1,800 per unit at 10 units, development time about 2 months. A mobile robot base with two main tracks and four independently driven flipper tracks, one at each corner. The flippers lift the body over steps and rubble, or lower it for a stable stance, while the flat deck carries a payload. In the video it drives, turns and works its flippers on a tiled floor with a sack of rice on top.
