... Terrestrial-aerial robot Multimode motion Mechanics and control Mobile robotics is one of the most rapidly advancing fields in scientific research (Rubio et al., 2019). Multi-copter drones, a class of aerial mobile robots, offer superior maneuverability in three-dimensional space...

... zone. Design/methodology/approach Starting from the design idea of multimode motion, the robot innovatively integrates the guiding fin and wheel together, is driven by the same motor and can achieve multimodal motion such as land, water surface and underwater with only six actuated degrees...
