Mechanism Synthesis of a Transformable Wheel-Legged Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on synthesizing the robot’s chassis mechanism,a transformable chassis is presented to adapt to the conflictive requirements of complex fields. A transformable wheel-legged robot has been designed with the applied chassis. As a variable topology mechanism, the robot has many changeable configurations. Finally the structure implementation of the robot was discussed.
