In recent decades a considerable number of mobile robots with different locomotion systems have been developed. This paper is an overview on the designs of mobile robots with hybrid locomotion. Some solutions of hybrid locomotion mechanisms and control methods are presented. Most of the robots included in this category are using wheel-leg mechanisms as locomotion systems. In this way, the efficiency of the leg for moving in rough terrain is combined with the design simplicity and the low energy consumption of the wheel, when the robot is moving on structured environment.
