There have been many researches about the driving mechanism for off-road mobility and the various utilities of rescue robot constantly. In this paper, a new type of driving mechanism for rescue robot which has a variable geometry single-track is introduced to achieve such objectives as surveillance, reconnaissance and rescue activity. It was designed to improve the performance of overcoming stairs and energy efficiency and to minimize its weight and size. We analyzed the design parameters for several steps of climbing stairs and confirm the possibility of realization of presented driving mechanism from various experiments.
