Abstract :
There is a mobile function as one of the most important function of home robots. Generally, it is difficult to move in house for conventional wheel type robots, because there are various obstacles such as chairs, beds, steps, stairs and so on. Therefore this research develops a crawler type home robot. Especially, in this paper, we propose the mechanical features, and show the experimental result to verify the mobility of this robot
