Abstract: For the motion characteristics of the tracked mobile robot under the complicated terrain environment, the current design on configuration of walking mechanism for tracked mobile robot are systematically summarized. The comparisons between the fixed tracked and the reconfigurable tracked mobile robot about the typical design on configuration of walking mechanism, the obstacle overcoming ability and characteristics about various configurations of walking mechanism for tracked mobile robot are analyzed and based on method of extrapolated configuration the regulation and connection among various tracked robot are proposed. Finally, the problems of tracked mobile robot and the development trends of the design on configuration of walking mechanism are put forward.

Keywords: Tracked Mobile Robot; Topographic Environment; Travelling Mechanism; Reconfigurable; The ObstacleSurmounting Performance.
