Robots are widely used nowadays in industries, commercial and domestic purpose for the completion of task in shortest time interval and accurate operation. In the design of a mobile robot, the main mechanical area on focus is the locomotion mechanism. The locomotion mechanism consideration would include the mobile robot flexibility, versatility and efficiency to complete the multi tasks in different environments, indoor and outdoor. This comparative study was focused on the mobile robot mobility systems between wheeled and tracked. This paper highlights the effects on mechanical design, velocity, energy and flexibility of each mobility system. A hybrid system was suggested depending on mechanical design, energy consumption and flexibility.
