A mobile platform for an autonomous mobile robot comprises an external structural frame extending around the periphery of the platform. A wheel set comprises a plurality of wheel units each coupled to the frame. At least one wheel includes an in-hub electric motor. A central unit conforms to the internal form of the structural frame and has a substantially planar form. The central module includes a power source and a controller. A method of assembling a mobile platform for an autonomous mobile robot comprises the steps of: constructing a peripheral structural frame; providing a central unit configured to conform to the internal form of the structural frame, the central module comprising a power source and a controller; and mounting a wheel set to the frame the wheel set comprising a plurality of wheel units, each coupled to the frame and at least one wheel including an in-hub electric motor.
