Amphibious robots offer promising applications in field scenarios such as search and rescue, exploration and reconnaissance, and environment monitoring. However, achieving high locomotion performance in terrestrial, aquatic, and soft muddy transition areas remains challenging. This study presents a novel amphibious robot based on the hybrid drive of tracks and bionic fins. The robot is driven by a pair of tracks on land and by a pair of undulating fins underwater, without the need for switching operating modes due to the simultaneous drive of the two components. The structure design is introdu...
