Abstract
Evaluation of the motion of a reconfigurable mobile robot over areas with different types of terrain and different positions of obstacles of two types is based on the analysis of movement of a simplified, i.e., abstract, robot between the two extreme points of the investigated terrain. The main correlations of the analysis have been successfully used in evaluating an expanded model of the robot during its motion over the area with a variety of different investigated objects, as well as in building a map of this terrain.
