A Reconfigured Wheel-Legged Robot for Enhanced Steering and Adaptability

Chunxin Zheng, Jinglan Xu, Jun Ma, Yulin Li, Zhicheng Song, Zhihai Bi

A wheel-legged robot replaces front-leg hip-roll joints with hip-yaw joints to gain efficient flat-ground rolling and adaptive rough-terrain walking.

Claims

C1strongest claim

FLORES replaces the conventional hip-roll degree of freedom (DoF) of the front leg with hip-yaw DoFs, and this allows for efficient movement on flat surfaces while ensuring adaptability when navigating complex terrains. This innovative design facilitates seamless transitions between different locomotion modes and optimizes the performance across varied environments.

C2weakest assumption

That the mechanical replacement of hip-roll with hip-yaw DoFs in the front legs, combined with the customized RL reward structure, produces the claimed novel efficient gaits and superior steering without introducing unaddressed stability or control trade-offs.

C3one line summary

FLORES is a wheel-legged robot with front-leg hip-yaw DoFs replacing hip-roll, paired with a custom RL controller using adapted HIM and tailored rewards for smooth wheeled-to-legged transitions and efficient gaits.
