Abstract

The paper outlines the evolution of the robotics series named “Cassino Hexapod”, highlighting main design issues and operational features. The Cassino Hexapod is an hybrid robot, equipped with legs and wheels, characterized by design solutions having low-cost and user-friendly features. Main task is aimed at monitoring and analysis of historical or archaeological sites.
