Development and Testing of a Mobile Robot with Hybrid Legged-Wheeled Locomotion

Journal Title: Robotica & Management - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 1

Abstract

In this paper the authors present the development and testing process of a mobile robot with hybrid legged-wheeled locomotion, that can be used for exploring dangerous environments. The robot has a high adaptability to rough terrain by being able to modify its ride height, to overpass step or ditch type obstacles and most of all, being able to operate while overturned or to revert itself into the normal operating position.
