Aspects concerning the development of hybrid propulsion systems for mobile robots

The mobile robots have a large area of application: transport, maintenance, research and education, entertainment, military applications, customers support, cleaning inaccessible spaces, air applications, planetary exploration, underwater exploration, [...]

The enlargement of mobile robots application area requires the development of new propulsion systems. The conventional systems with direct contact between robot and environment (wheel-floor, crawler-floor and foot-floor) may be optimized by introduction of a second propulsion system (reactive, inertial). The paper presents the structure of a hybrid propulsion system: wheel-floor and inertial. Key words: mobile robots, propulsion, inertia
