Robots with wheels could potentially navigate a variety of indoor and outdoor environments, traveling for longer distances and with fewer risks of losing balance. While some wheeled robots have achieved very promising results in recent years, most of them are unable to reliably overcome steps (i.e., surfaces that are raised above ground level).

The inability of many wheeled robots to overcome steps limits their real-world implementations, by increasing the risk that they will get stuck on a step and fail to complete missions. …
