ABSTRACT
The obstacle crossing ability under complicated terrain environment is the key and difficult point during design of small mobile robots and the common approach is to realize this ability through combination of multiple marching forward methods. This study conducts detailed analysis of the obstacle crossing performance of a new wheels-crawler compound robot. The robot includes multiple movement forms such as common wheel movement, crawler running and crawler swinging movement and through obstacle crossing ability analysis of various movement forms under typical terrain environment, it could provide theoretic support to the design of robot. The research results show that this robot has both the ability of fast movement on smooth road and obstacle crossing ability under non-structural terrain environment.
