Analysis and Design of a Minimalist Step Climbing Robot

In this article, a novel yet simple step climbing robot is proposed and is comprised of two front wheels, a rear-wheel and an actuator to vary the center distance between the front and rear wheels. When a robot climbs a stair, the huge variance in the inclination angle of the robot may result in its...
