This paper addressed a challenging problem of wheeled-legged robots with high degrees of freedom exploring in unknown rough environments. The proposed method works as a pipeline to achieve prioritized exploration comprising three primary modules: traversability analysis, frontier-based exploration and hybrid locomotion planning. Traversability analysis provides robots an evaluation about surroundi...
