One way of improving the drawback of walking robots may be to develop hybrid, in order to exploit merits of both walking and wheeled systems.

in the front and two passive wheels as feet and two actuated rear wheels, the robot proposed by the authors can move using three locomotion modes: wheeled mode and two hybrid locomotion modes.

A hybrid wheel-leg mobile robot

While most wheeled material handlers have four-wheel drive and are capable of operating when the ground is soft and wet, that environment is usually left to crawlers, says Paul Hill, products manager at Liebherr America Inc., Newport News, Va.

"Wheeled material handlers are better suited to work on smooth, paved surfaces that will provide a stable base from which to operate the machine.

Another factor driving the popularity of wheeled handlers is simply general improvement in the equipment, according to Marceglia.

They may not be able to climb mountains of scrap, but wheeled material handlers offer many advantages to scrap processors, Marceglia says.

However, as the industry evolves, an increasing number of scrap processors want to get more out of each machine rather than buying and maintaining a machine for each specialized job on a yard, which is where wheeled machines also come in handy, LeBlanc says.

Wheeled machines offer moderate travel speeds of about 10 to 12 mph--about three or four times faster than a tracked model.

Another attractive feature to some scrap processors is the cab on a wheeled machine, which tends to be higher, even at its minimum height, than the cab on a tracked machine, says Marceglia.
