Abstract
A prototype of TORVEastro robot is designed and built for testing activity to check the soundness of the robot design and to characterize its performance. A CAD model is used to design and built a prototype with 3D printed parts and commercial components. The built prototype is tested to verify the operation efficiency and to evaluate the performance characteristics.
