This article introduces a tracked-leg transformable robot, TALBOT. The mechanical and electrical design, control method, and environment perception based on LiDAR are discussed. The original tracked-leg transformable structure allows the robot to switch between the tracked and legged mode to achieve all-terrain adaptation. In the tracked mode, TALBOT is controlled by the method of differential speed between the two tracked feet. In the legged mode, TALBOT is controlled based on a bionic control strategy of the central pattern generator to realize the generation and conversion of gait. In addition, the robot is equipped with a LiDAR, through sensor preprocessing and optimization of the slam mapping algorithm, so that the robot achieves a better mapping effect. We tested the robot’s motion performance and the slam mapping effect, including going straight and turning in tracked and legged modes and building a map in an indoor environment.
