A remotely controlled vehicle contains a housing, front and rear wheel propellers. Each of the front propellers is equipped with an arm with running wheels located on its ends. The arms are swinging relative to the housing and through electromagnetic coupling are connected each with another with the help of front horizontal traverse. The traverse is rigidly connected with the lever mounted between electromagnetic couplings, second end of which is connected with the stock of its drive. Each of rear propellers is equipped with one running wheel. Wheels are connected between them with the help of rear horizontal traverse and steering trapezoid with drives of turning of rear propellers located at its ends. Each running wheel is equipped with individual drive. Cable drum with the drive and cable layer, multilink manipulator and remote supports are installed on the housing. The links of manipulator have articulated couplings, in which the drives of links are located. Two external supports are made with possibility of their arbitrary orientation in the space with respect to the bearing surface, and the third external support is made in the form of a jack.
