Abstract :
Four wheeled and four legged flexible personal robot is designed for a personal robot following a person indoors. This robot is expected to serve a various kind of service to a person and peoples with the tri-camera stereo vision system. This paper describes on the vision assisted stride over a step with the hybrid locomotion by wheels and legs.
