520 3 |a The recent integration of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) into human activities represents a significant scientific advancement and technological development, with substantial impacts across various fields, not limited to mechanical engineering, including agriculture, defense, and civil construction. Therefore, this study aims to provide a practical methodological framework, developed through a historical and systematic literature review, to emphasize the general criteria and the main interactions that an engineer should consider in the initial design phase of a UGV, thereby subsequently proceeding with its computer-aided modeling and simulation. To this end, a systematic literature review is conducted to identify current research interests in this field and pinpoint potential research gaps. Following the systematic literature review presented in this study, the focus of the present investigation shifts to classifying UGVs by analyzing their characteristics based on specific criteria, including weight, type of steering system, and wheel and track configurations. Additionally, the differences between wheels and tracks are further examined by comparing these two solutions and highlighting their advantages and limitations. This review paper also addresses power systems, hardware components, and navigation challenges. Subsequently, the primary sectors and applications where these vehicles are widely utilized are thoroughly analyzed. Finally, a specific section of the manuscript is dedicated to illustrating the preliminary mechanical design of a typical unmanned ground vehicle, thereby highlighting its functional requirements and selecting the most suitable locomotion system. For this purpose, preliminary evaluations and simple calculations are introduced to determine the motor performance required for the proposed design example. In conclusion, the literature survey on UGVs presented in this paper, rooted in the common perspective of kinematic and dynamic analysis of multibody mechanical systems, clearly highlights the importance of this topic in modern engineering applications.
