Robot designs can take many inspirations from nature, where there are many examples of
highly resilient and fault-tolerant locomotion strategies to navigate complex terrains by …

This paper presents a survey on mobile robots as systems that can move in different
environments with walking, flying and swimming up to solutions that combine those …

The promise of legged robots over wheeled robots is to provide improved mobility over
rough terrain. Unfortunately, this promise comes at the cost of a significant increase in …

This paper reports on the design, integration, and performance evaluation of a novel four-
leg/four-wheel transformable mobile robot, Quattroped. In contrast to most hybrid platforms …

We report on the design, optimization, and performance evaluation of a new wheel-leg
hybrid robot. This robot utilizes a novel transformable wheel that combines the advantages …

This paper introduces a mobile robot with a new type of transformable wheel legs that can
be used for flat and rough terrain. It integrates the stability and maneuverability of a wheeled …

This paper presents the design and development of a novel reconfigurable hybrid wheel-
track mobile robot (RHMBot). This new reconfigurable mobile robot is constructed based on …

The disclosed articulated wheel assemblies and associated vehicles, for example
wheelchairs, include articulated wheel assemblies with at least one offset connecting arm …

This paper focuses on the posture control performance on uneven terrain for a wheel-legged
robot (WLR). Firstly, a novel four-wheel-legged robot (FWLR) with series slow active …

In this chapter a comprehensive literature survey has been carried out for multi-legged
robots. Different aspects of multi-legged robot locomotion pertaining to kinematic, dynamics …
