Abstract [en]
In this paper, a tetrahedral mobile robot with central axis for transformation to the flat vehicle is presented. The throwable robot with the function of going into narrow spaces when its in the flat-vehicle mode is explained in detail. A prototype has been developed to illustrate the concept. Motion experiments confirm the novel properties of this mechanism: mode changing function and omnidirectional motion. Basic Motion experiments, with a test vehicle are also presented.
