In this paper, we describe a rescue robot with hydraulic actuator and wheel driving mechanism with a inner tube pressure control(ITPC). The developed robot is composed of two driving units which are enable to climb over obstacles by lifting the driving unit with a hydraulic driven arm. The ITCP has been developed to traverse the rough terrain. The system can control the pressure of an inner tube by changing a diameter of the wheel. The ITCP system does not need an air compressor and an air tank which are heavy and bulky.
