A Survey on Mechanical Solutions for Hybrid Mobile Robots
Matteo Russo, Marco Ceccarelli
Abstract
This paper presents a survey on mobile robots as systems that can move in different environments with walking, flying and swimming up to solutions that combine those capabilities. The peculiarities of these mobile robots are analyzed with significant examples as references and a specific case study is presented as from the direct experiences of the authors for the robotic platform HeritageBot, in applications within the frame of Cultural Heritage. The hybrid design of mobile robots is explained as integration of different technologies to achieve robotic systems with full mobility.
