Abstract

t y p e s o f m o b i l e r o b o t s h a d been developed depending on the kind of application, velocity, and the type of environment whether its water, space, terrain with fixed or moving obstacles. Four major categories had been identified (Dudek & Jenkin, 2000): Terrestrial or ground-contact robots: The most common ones are the wheeled robots; others are the tracked vehicles and Limbed vehicles. Aquatic robots: Those operate in water surface or underwater. Most use water jets or propellers.
