Disaster response robots (DRRs) designed to explore dangerous areas in emergency situations (collapses, urban conflagration, earthquakes, floods) represent a design challenge. Therefore, there is the constant need of innovation in the field of navigation through harsh environment. In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a low cost, low power consumption and high terrain adaptability continuous track articulated robot. The proposed design is capable of climbing obstacles and dodging them by adjusting the inner angle of a middle joint. Also the current research, provides new ideas towards the innovation and ad-hoc use of low-cost robots for emergency scenarios.
