| Abstract | In recent years, the effects of climate change and natural disasters have intensified globally, causing environmental and infrastructural damage. As such, there exists a demand for robots that can adapt their mode of movement to varying environmental conditions, which offer increased efficiency, resilience, and adaptability in a variety of scenarios. It is within this context that my proposal of a two-mode robot capable of transitioning between rolling and walking states holds significance. By combining both modes of locomotion into one system, the robot is able to switch between the more energy and time efficient rolling mechanism to the versatile and stable walking mode for adapting to a variety of terrain in facilitating environmental surveillance. |
