Abstract
In this paper the authors present a search and rescue robot with hybrid locomotion system. The robot uses a locomotion system with two TriSTAR units and two conventional wheels. Details are also presented regarding the design of the robot and the TriSTAR locomotion unit, the robot locomotion and the robot actuation and control. In order to provide the possibility to manipulate small objects the robot will be equipped with a manipulator presented in detail.
