Abstract: Many types of hybrid mobile robots that combine the characteristics of wheeled robot and legged robot have been developed in the past two decades. This paper is aimed at presenting a survey on various hybrid mobile robots based on their respective implemented locomotion mechanism. The survey is done on several recently developed hybrid mobile robots by inspecting the design concept of their locomotion mechanism. Besides that, this paper also discusses the factors that influence the design of a robust robotics platform which are important to consider when designing a robot. This work will be useful as a preliminary reference point for those who want to design a hybrid mobile robot.
