W1 can dynamically combine walking and wheeling, overcome obstacles in the form of ledges and even navigate stairs. The machine is equipped with a system for determining the type of surface and, on the move, is able to automatically switch between different modes of movement without stopping, as well as dynamically change the height of the position and the relative angle of inclination of the body. to the ground.
The robot has four legs with “knee joints” that curve in opposite directions. There is an electric motorized wheel at the end of each leg, which can be locked when necessary and can serve as a walking base with good grip.
