Abstract
The design and the major structural features of an autonomous walking-wheeled robot, called ODYSSEUS, are presented. The main parts of the ODYSSEUS autonomous robot are: a triangular platform with three independent, extending wheels, and three extending legs/arms; a digital magnetic compass based on a circular Grey code; a sonar system in an hexagonal configuration; a slope meter; a vision camera; and a distributed multiprocessor system for the control and the navigation of the robot
