  • Abstract
    A bipedal configuration robot with reduced degrees of freedom (DOF) has been developed as a practical walking and task performing robot. In this paper, the maneuvers of versatile hybrid locomotion, which is based on both wheeled and legged locomotion, are described for achieving higher mobility. Results of experiments to verify these locomotion methods are also discussed.
