A lifter system based traversal mechanism for a robot includes detection of the robot at a predetermined distance from a movable platform. The movable platform is part of the lifter system. Teeth orientation of cog wheels of the robot are changed to match teeth orientation of teeth of a fixed teeth structure of the movable platform. The movable platform is moved in to a predetermined proximity of the robot so that teeth are engaged. The movable platform takes the robot from a first position to a second position. On reaching the second position the robot is disengaged from the movable platform.
