The need for robots operating in the real-world has sparked interest in hybrid locomotion that combines the versatile legged mobility with a simpler wheeled motion. The use of legged-wheeled robots in complex real-world scenarios requires controllers that will capitalise on this flexibility. In this
Despite the development of a large number of mobile manipulation robots, very few platforms can demonstrate the required strength and mechanical sturdiness to accommodate the needs of real-world applications with high payload and moderate/harsh physical interaction demands, e.g., in disaster-respons
Legged-wheeled robots combine the advantages of efficient wheeled mobility with the adaptability to real-world terrains through the legged locomotion. Due to this hybrid mobility skill, they can excel in many application scenarios where other mobile platforms are not suitable for. However, their ver…
