Structural Support: The chassis acts as the skeleton, holding components like motors, sensors, control boards, and power supplies securely in place.
Mobility Enablement: For mobile robots, the chassis supports locomotion systems (wheels, tracks, or legs) and distributes weight to ensure balance and maneuverability.
Load Distribution: It evenly distributes the weight of the robot and any payload to maintain stability during movement or operation.
Component Integration: The chassis provides mounting points and space for integrating sensors, actuators, and wiring, ensuring efficient communication and operation.
Durability and Protection: It protects internal components from environmental factors (dust, moisture, impact) and withstands operational stresses.
