A Short Overview on Terrestrial Hybrid Locomotion Mobile Robots

Hybrid locomotion mobile robots represent a state-of-the-art combination of different forms of locomotion that seamlessly combine multiple locomotion methods to improve adaptability and efficiency in different environments. Unlike traditional mobile robots, which are limited to a single movement, terrestrial hybrid locomotion mobile robots are using a combination of wheels, legs or tracks to navigate different terrains and overcome obstacles. These robots will be able to traverse complex landscapes, a challenge for traditional wheeled or legged robots. Hybrid locomotion mobile robots can be used in various applications, such as search and rescue missions, exploration of hostile and different environments, and military operation. In this paper a short overview of on terrestrial hybrid locomotion mobile robots is presented.
