A mobile mechanism by wheels is efficient on flat road surface but not for step climbing. A crawler is good for step climbing but inefficient on the flat road surface. On the other hand, drone can move in air, but it is limited on the payload and moving distances. Therefore, in this research, a new mobile mechanism combining wheels with drone is proposed and its autonomous control is researched to realize efficient movement on both flat and step surface and overcome the limited payload.
