LYNX Heavy Robotic Crawler Platform▪

1. The mission of the project

Modern battlefield, emergencies, and industrial exploitation require equipment capable of operating where human use is associated with high risk.

The mission of the LYNX project is to create a universal unmanned transport platform that can perform a wide range of tasks in the most severe operating conditions.

Main application areas:

• Ammunition delivery;
• supply of units;
• evacuation of the wounded;
• transportation of equipment;
• engineering works;
• cargo transportation;
• provision of unmanned units;
• work in a zone of radioactive, chemical or biological contamination;
• operation in the Arctic;
• industrial logistics;
• mining industry;
• oil and gas industry;
• rescue operations;
• forestry;
• work after natural disasters.

The platform is designed for operation:

• around the clock;
• in all weather conditions;
• on lightly bearing soils;
• in the snow;
• in the mud;
• in a swampy area;
• on the sand;
• in a mountainous area.

##2. The LYNX Philosophy

Simplicity. Reliability. Adaptability.

The name LYNX symbolizes the qualities of the lynx:

• quick decision-making;
• high throughput;
• maneuverability;
• stealth;
• confident movement on difficult terrain.

The philosophy of the project is based around several principles.

The function defines the shape

Each line of the building has an engineering purpose. There are no decorative elements. There are no complex surfaces.
There are no expensive stamps.

Ease of production

All panels are designed for:

• laser cutting;
• flexibility;
• welding;
• quick replacement.

This significantly reduces the cost of production and repairs.

Versatility

LYNX is not just one machine.

It is an entire robotic platform capable of accepting various functional modules.

Reliability

Fault tolerance is a priority.

The platform should continue to perform the task even after partial damage to the equipment.

3. General concept and design of RenderWorks Industrial Design

LYNX's design is a combination of modern industrial aesthetics and engineering rationality.

Main Features:

• low silhouette;
• wide track;
• long track support surface;
• completely flat panels;
• simple body geometry;
• minimum number of welded elements;
• no complicated stamping;
• branded "muzzle" in the form of a stylized lynx head;
• narrow LED optics;
• large planes for marking;
• minimalistic corporate identity.

Visually, the platform looks modern, technological and easily recognizable.

4. Engineering solutions

5. Key advantages over existing machines

Ease of production

The structure consists almost entirely of flat panels.

Low cost

The minimum number of complex parts significantly reduces the cost of manufacturing.

Unification

Most of the components are used on all modifications.

High maintainability

Any panel can be quickly replaced in the field.

Scalability

The architecture allows you to create machines of various sizes.

Modularity

Any functional module is installed without changing the platform.

High throughput

The large length of the support surface ensures confident movement along:

• snow;
• dirt;
• the sand;
• wetlands.

Automation

The integration of modern autonomous control systems is supported.
