Paper Abstract
The All-Terrain Biped (ATB) robot is an unmanned ground vehicle with arms, legs and wheels designed to drive, crawl,
walk and manipulate objects for inspection and explosive ordnance disposal tasks. This paper summarizes on-going
development of the ATB platform. Control technology for semi-autonomous legged mobility and dual-arm dexterity is
described as well as preliminary simulation and hardware test results. Performance goals include driving on flat terrain,
crawling on steep terrain, walking on stairs, opening doors and grasping objects. Anticipated benefits of the adaptive
mobility and dexterity of the ATB platform include increased robot agility and autonomy for EOD operations, reduced
operator workload and reduced operator training and skill requirements.
