Learning Robust Autonomous Navigation and Locomotion for Wheeled-Legged Robots This autonomous navigation system, developed for Robotic Systems Lab's wheeled-legged quadrupeds, is designed for efficient navigation in large urban environments. Using neural network policies, the unified control system supports smooth gait transitions, intelligent navigation planning, and responsive obstacle avoidance in urban settings.

For robots to successfully locomote in different environments, it is better to equip them with multiple modes of locomotion. Multimodal locomotion for existing robotic systems is generally realized by integrating multiple mechanisms into a single robot. These robots are generally cumbersome or challenging to control and actuate. Recently, shape-morphing structures are utilized to enable reconfigurable and multifunctional robots. In this article, the authors present a novel origami-inspired modul

Legged robots have better adaptability in complex terrain, and wheeled robots move faster on flat surfaces. The Unitree B-W robot combines both advantages. It can walk, slide, turn, and climb stairs.
