Mobile Minirobot with Hybrid Locomotion

Abstract:

In this paper the authors present a mobile minirobot with a hybrid locomotion system. The proposed locomotion system combines the advantages of legged locomotion with the advantages of wheeled locomotion. Due to the proposed structure, the minirobot allows three ways of locomotion: legged, wheeled and combined. The paper describes the experimental prototype, the electronic components needed for controlling the minirobot and it analyses locomotion possibilities by using wheels and legs. The end of the paper presents the kinematic model for a single leg of the minirobot.
