Leg wheel hybrid quadruped robot

Leg-wheel hybrid quadruped robot, 2006, from Shigeo Hirose. In this mechanism, load distribution control is realized by a torque of twisting joint at the center of the body, and a forward/backward shift of the body. It can ride over 230 mm step. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Rough-terrain-locomotion-of-a-leg-wheel-hybrid-qua-Takahashi-Yoneda/74cd42a4ed934a26b6e21b28d56c54dd3e66d2e0/figure/5

Claw Wheel Transformable Robot

Claw-Wheel transformable robot, 2016, transforms between the claw mode and the wheel mode. The transformation process is done by simply folding or unfolding the front body through the active transformation mechanism. The claw mode driven by four unique claws is used to overcome rough terrain. For enhancing the stability during climbing steep stairs in the claw mode, the body length is extended. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Claw-Wheel-transformable-hybrid-robot-with-rel-Pan-Kuo/9a7974c274e1371f200a146d2db613fcdfe8547b

Hyundai Project Elevate

Hyundai Project Elevate cradle is a concept car of walking vehicle, shown here in his unexceptional environment : rocks. It is only a project. Even walking robots cannot walk like that on rocks. But a prototype is in construction and we hope it will be like on videos.
