This paper presents the development of a quadrotor vehicle capable of movement between air and water environments. The design challenges, including torque matching in the propulsion system, balance maintenance in different mediums, and waterproofing requirements, are discussed. A prototype is constr…
To access rough terrain and enhance the mobility in sandy terrain, a configurable paddle-wheel robot was pro-posed. This report addresses the paddle terradynamics, and the experimental verification of the locomotion performance of the robot over dry sandy terrain. To study the interactive forces bet…
To enhance the motion performance of all-terrain robots, an eccentric paddle mechanism (ePaddle) based on planet gear mechanism was designed. This letter is on the design, control scheme, and implementation of a wheel-paddle integrated quadruped robot based on the ePaddle mechanism. To ensure the re
