This article presents a novel transformable wheeled robot with three motion modes. Based on the four-bar mechanism design, the transformable wheel can transform into CW (clockwise) legged wheel mode and CCW (counterclock-wise) legged wheel mode from the circular wheel. Both legged wheel modes achieve good obstacle-climbing performance when the robot overcomes obstacles such as steps in the forward...
