A modular mobile robot for use in association with a control unit includes a chassis, a pair of drive traction modules, a pair of drive transmission modules, a self-contained head module, a self-contained power module and a self-contained core module. The drive traction modules are operably attachable to the chassis. The drive transmission modules are operably connectable to the drive traction modules. The self-contained head module includes a power and data distribution system and is operably connectable to the drive transmission modules. The self-contained power module is operably connectable to the head module. The self-contained core module includes a main processor and communication system. The self-contained core module is operably connectable to the head module and the power module whereby the core module manages the communication with the control unit. The self-contained modules are designed to facilitate the easy repair and replacement of the modules in the modular mobile robot.
