Hirose-Fukushima Robotics Lab (Tokyo Institute of Technology) developed a prototype "Walker-Roller" robot: '"Roller-Walker" is a vehicle with a special foot mechanism which changes between feet soles for the walking mode and passive wheels for the wheel.
(Photo 2(a),(b)) Roller-Walker can utilize the installed actuators for walking, so additional weight is very light.
The wheeled locomotion is based on the same principle of roller-skating."
