In this video, we present Ringbot, a novel leg-wheel transformer robot incorporating a monocycle mechanism with legs. Ringbot aims to provide versatile mobility by replacing the driver and driving components of a conventional monocycle vehicle with legs mounted on compact driving modules inside the wheel.
Ringbot represents KIMLAB's "ingenuity", demonstrating our ability to bring a sci-fi-like mobile robot to the real world through robotics.
