If a robot has multiple mobile functions and can use them according to the environment, the robot can adapt to more various environments. There are two main modes of locomotion on land: legs and wheels. In this research, by constructing a wheel-mounted humanoid, we clarify the elements necessary for Cthe design of the body system which has multiple locomotion and the realization of such robot behavior. As an experiment, walking and wheel movement, morphological transition depending on the environments, a task using both arms was conducted. The results of this research show that the compact wheel layout and motion decision based on environmental information.
