Indoor service robots have been widely introduced in the fields of cleaning, delivery,
education, guidance, and healthcare, etc. in indoor environments. The mobility of an indoor …

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 …

A novel passively-actively transformable mobile robot that can traverse an unstructured
terrain is proposed. The robot's locomotion system can actively adjust its posture in …

This paper presents a wall-climbing platform equipped with new modularized wall-cleaning
units. Instead of using such devices as winch systems or built-in guide rails, the proposed …

This study presents a new mobile robot with passively articulated driving tracks for high
terrainability (TA) and maneuverability (MA) on unstructured, rough terrain. The mobile robot …

This study presents a disturbance torque observer-based variable impedance control
method to mitigate the disturbance force acting on the 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) …

Rovers equipped with Rocker-Bogie mechanisms have emerged as pivotal assets in the
domains of interplanetary and terrain exploration. To carry out scientific investigations …

This paper proposes the mechanical design and wheel–leg–body cooperation control of a
robot capable of climbing stairs for the RoboMaster competition. The robot is comprised of a …

One drawback of wheeled robots is their inferiority to conquer large obstacles and perform
well on complicated terrains, which limits their application in rescue missions. To provide a …

To achieve posture control and ride comfort (vibration isolation performance) of a robot in
unstructured terrain, a novel four-wheel-legged robot (FWLR) with an actively-passively …
