Short summary
A new type of wheel–leg deformation mechanism, based on an electromagnetic clutch and gear rack transmission mechanism, is designed for moving on complex terrain. The walking model is established to study the kinematics characteristics and obstacle-surmounting performance of the mechanism. The stability cone method is used to evaluate the rollover stability and anti-interference ability in order to ensure the normal operation of the mechanism.
