PAW: a Hybrid Wheeled-leg Robot

— This paper discusses current wheeled mobility work on a hybrid wheeled-leg robot called PAW. In addition to providing design details, controllers are proposed for inclined turning and sprawled braking which take advantage of the hybrid nature of the platform and improve stability. Power consumption values for a number of its basic behaviours are given, as is the range of the robot.
