  • Abstract
    In this paper the analysis and design are presented for a new leg-wheel walking vehicle. A preliminary prototype of a low-cost robot, which is capable of a straight walking with only one actuator, has been designed and built at Wuhan University of Technology. It is concluded that the robot has good stability by leg mechanism kinematics analysis. Simulation and experiment have been carried out to verify the operation of the prototype.
