Inspired by the movement of duck that is able to move on land and water utilizing its webbed feet,a novel design of an amphibious robot has been presented in this paper.In contrary,the orthodox design of amphibious robot utilizes the tracks or wheels on land and switches to the propeller to move in water.The proposed design employs same propulsion system as webbed feet to move on land and water.After studying the movement of the duck underwater,a conclusion has been drawn that it is swimming in the water by moving its webbed feet back and forth to generate force to push its body forward.Recreating this phenomenon of duck movement,hybrid robot locomotion has been designed and developed which is able to walk,swim and climb steps using the same propulsion system.Moreover,webbed feet would be able to walk efficiently on muddy,icy or sandy terrain due to uneven distribution of robot weight on the feet.To be able to justify the feasibility of the design,simulations are being carried out using Simulation Xpress of the SOLIDWORKS software.
