This paper presents the conceptual and functional design of a novel hybrid leg-wheel-track
ground mobile robot for surveillance and inspection, named WheTLHLoc (Wheel-Track-Leg …

This paper presents the design and control of Q‐Whex, an untethered, quasi‐wheeled
hexapod robot. Q‐Whex has only six actuators—one motor located at each hip—achieving …

Mobile robots with multi locomotion modes have excellent terrain adaptability. However,
traditional multi-locomotion mobile robots are usually actuated by a large number of motors …

This paper discusses the design and the experimental tests on Porcospino, a bio-inspired
single-track mobile robot for inspection of unstructured environments characterized by …

This paper presents the conceptual and embodiment design of a bio-inspired single track
ground mobile robot, named SnakeTrack, designed for surveillance and inspection tasks in …

This paper discusses the theoretical analysis and the experimental validation of the step and
stair climbing capability of wheel-track-leg hybrid locomotion (WheTLHLoc), a small-scale …

WheTLHLoc 4W is the second version of a hybrid leg–wheel–track small‐scale ground
mobile robot, developed for surveillance and inspection applications. It differs from its …

This paper is focused on the design and development of the Porcospino Flex, a single-track
robot inspired by nature and featuring a meta-material structure. In the earlier version of the …

The paper presents a new member of Epi. q robot family, a series of mobile robots with a
wheel-legged locomotion and with the ability to overcome obstacles and move on uneven …

Obstacle-crossing and stair-climbing abilities are crucial to the performance of mobile robots
for urban environment mobility. This paper proposes a tracked stair-climbing robot with two …
