How to Design an Innovative Steering System for a Vehicle?

[Certainty]

Good day People, I require some assist in designing steering system for a vehicle I'm designing


I'm trying to upload an idea of what I'm referring too, but Site only allow 300kb and the file is 573kb

Any steering ideas out there, that is different from Go kart, Cars, vans etc.

In wheel Steering system is a nice approach

Sounds like a school assignment, so you will need to show us your work first before we can offer ideas. What is the exact project/assignment statement?

Well... what School assignment? It is not I'm not even in school... I'm a designer... Anywho If you have read with understand, I said the site wouldn't allow me up upload the idea I'm going for, Its 573kb, the site allows 300kb, but you can throw some ideas out there doesn't necessarily needs a foundation

What format it is? Is a JPG version any smaller?

 

[Certainty]

I made it in paint. Is there any other way I can make it smaller.

Yes. If you saved it as a *.BMP, just re-open it and save it as a *.JPG -- that will compress it a lot.

Thank you and here it is

this is a better picture

It's all going to depend on what kind of vehicle it is and how big, but I personally don't think your posted idea is a very good one. For a "small-ish" vehicle (a.k.a. robot) the simplest way would be to drive each wheel with a motor and reverse the direction on one side to turn. For a more go-kart-sized vehicle, what's wrong with plain ol' rack & pinion or knuckle-based steering linkage?

Its not moving forward :P Its old and needs to be refine, I understand the Robotics with 1 wheel stop 1 move but that's not feasible in the streets nor in a urban area

What other new vehicle systems have you looked at? Have you looked at the latest NASA rover designs? How about the goofy 3-wheeled motorcycles that are showing up lately (2 wheels in front)? Maybe there are some good search terms for Google Images to show some recent innovative steering and propulsion systems for wheeled vehicles...

Ha! That was pretty interesting...
