Abstract
In this paper, a novel hybrid hexapod legged robot R3HC is proposed as based on a collaboration between Universities of Huelva and University of Cassino. This robot has been designed and built for patrolling areas where flat surfaces are mixed with obstacles and/or small unevenness. Its main design features, which are based on previous experiences with the Cassino Hexapod robot series, are also discussed. Both hardware and software are aiming at low-cost and user-friendly features as also described in the preliminary tests.
