Aerial Terrestrial Multimodal Robots Database

Database of reviewed literature for the review paper entitled <em>Multi-modal Locomotion: Next Generation Aerial-terrestrial Mobile Robotics</em><br>The database contains literature references of drone prototypes distinguishing among three primary design approaches: 1) additive design: when the morphology of the robot remains unchanged while varying modalities; 2) adaptive design: when robots are capable of altering their morphology (or morph) to traverse different domains effectively; and 3) multi-vehicle design: involves the use of multiple vehicles working together to achieve multimodal functionality.<br>Within each category, subcategories have been defined according to their forms, structures and mechanisms of movement.<br>The references go from years 2000 to 2023 adding up a total of 64 prototypes.<br>See the associated peer reviewed publication for further analysis on the classification, and the advantages and current limitations of each (sub)category.
