The word Wheg is a contraction of the two english words: wheel and leg. It represents a class of robots using a unique locomotion system that combines the simplicity of the use of wheels with the advantages of overcoming the obstacles of legs.

Usually they are robots quadrupeds or hexapods.

This type of robot allows to simulate the walk controller using a less complex than that of a robot with the legs.

Wheg star

Wheg_ratasjalgIt is the ultimate form of wheel wheg created.

Has two different states: the first when the wheel is closed so it has the circular shape, in second hand when the wheel is open and the legs take the form of six-pointed star.

This type of wheg combines the ability to move quickly and stably on a flat surface (when the wheel is closed) and the ability to overcome land disconnected (when the wheel is open).
