Researchers at Texas A&M University have unveiled CLAW, a cycloidal-wheel robot designed to navigate diverse terrains and weather conditions.

The claw-like components of the wheel stretch to reach heights and retract as they approach the ground, providing for constant contact with the surface.Researchers at Texas A& M University have constructed a robot with cycloidal wheels, marking a significant step forward in using robotics in all-terrain environments.

Lee’s research team developed the Adaptable Wheel and Leg Transformable Robot for a DARPA-funded project from 2020 to 2021. The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture funded the study through the National Robotics Initiative 3.0 initiative, initially focused on developing a scalable and adaptable swarm of robots for various agricultural situations.

Lee and Wei built the CLAWbot, a fixed-axis, four-wheeled robot with the new design to test the CLAW.
