ABSTRACT

Disclosed herein is a hybrid platform that may support a robot/manipulator arm
and that may switch between a mobility mode for relocating the hybrid platform
and a stationary mode for stably supporting the robot/manipulator arm. The
hybrid platform includes a base frame and a wheel attached to the base frame
via a movable link. The hybrid platform also includes an actuator attached to
the movable link, wherein the actuator is configured to move in a first
direction to reposition the movable link to set a first mode of operation of
the hybrid platform (the mobility mode) and configured to move in a second
direction to reposition the movable link to set a second mode of operation
(the stationary mode). In the first mode of operation, the platform is
supported movably on the wheel and in the second mode of operation, the
platform rests stationary on the base frame.
