From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors Hyun, Dong Jin (Suwon-si, KR); Kim, Beom Su (Yongin-si, KR); Kim, Ho Jun (Gunpo-si, KR); Kim, Kyu Jung (Seoul, KR); Lee, Dong Hyun (Ansan-si, KR); Lim, Hyun Seop (Anyang-si, KR); Yoon, Ju Young (Suwon-si, KR), filed on January 17, 2023, was made available online on February 15, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Mobile robots are broadly classified into a foot-type robot capable of performing a walking motion by using structures each provided in the form of a leg, and a wheel-type robot capable of performing a driving motion by using wheels. The advantage of the foot-type robot is that the foot-type robot may easily overcome environments such as stairs or rugged areas. However, the foot-type robot has problems in that a movement speed is low on a flat ground surface, and energy consumption efficiency deteriorates. In contrast, the advantage of the wheel-type robot is that a movement speed is high on a flat ground surface, and energy consumption efficiency is high. However, the wheel-type robot has a problem in that driving performance significantly deteriorates in environments such as stairs or rugged areas. To solve the problem with the foot-type robot and the problem with the wheel-type robot, the development is being conducted on a robot implemented by combining the advantages of the two types of robots. For example, in the related art, studies are being performed on i) a type in which a wheel is attached to a structure having a leg shape provided on a foot-type robot or ii) a type in which a shape of a wheel provided on a wheel-type robot is temporarily deformed to overcome an obstacle such as stairs.
