Abstract
A small ground mobile robot with multi-locomotion modes was presented, that can maneuver in both indoor and outdoor environments in different locomotion modes such as wheeled mode, tracked mode, and legged mode etc., which made the robot has higher capability of negotiating obstacles and more adaptive to the environment change. To validate the concept, the first prototype was developed that adopted the embedded control system with ARM + DSP structure and worked in the semi-autonomy method. The robot has the characteristics of high mobility, small size, light weight and posture-recovering. Its capability and effectiveness is tested by experiments such as climbing stairs, traversing steps etc.
