3 Robot Locomotion and Mobility
Wheeled Robots
Use wheels for movement
Well-suited for smooth and flat surfaces
Differential drive systems, omnidirectional wheels, and the trade-offs between stability and maneuverability
Legged Robots
Mimic the locomotion of animals and humans
Can traverse diverse terrains
Various leg configurations, such as bipedal and quadrupedal designs
Complexities of balance and control in legged locomotion
Aerial Robots (Drones)
Navigate three-dimensional spaces
Different types of drones, including quadcopters, fixed-wing drones, and hybrid designs
Challenges of stability, control, and energy efficiency in aerial robotics
Underwater and Submersible Robots
Designed to operate underwater
Used for tasks like ocean exploration, marine research, and underwater inspection
Buoyancy control, propulsion mechanisms, and communication challenges in underwater environments
Unconventional Locomotion Mechanisms
Snake-like robots, climbing robots, and soft robots
Draw inspiration from nature
Excel in specific scenarios, such as navigating tight spaces or uneven surfaces
Challenges and Innovations
Adapting to different terrains
