Abstract:
To fully complete the mission, it is essential for field robots to obtain the ability of overcoming various obstacles. Because of the various scale and shapes of the stairs, it is the obstacle which is the most easily access but hard to overcome. Therefore, stair climbing is essential to field robots. In this research, we set the climbing stairs with high stability at a high speed as our goal. The new robot platform suggested in this research climbs the stairs by flipping-body locomotion as human tumbling. We called this robot `FlipBot' from body flip locomotion. In this paper, we introduce the FlipBot design and experiment result of first prototype.
