A mobile robot and drone device configured to dynamically allocate one or more task objectives and handling objectives, the mobile robot and drone device systematically couples to one another creating a hybrid robot-drone. The robot and drone array are utilized to work and obtain target objects in an environment, wherein the mobile robot and drone device comprise robotic arms and legs comprising propulsion drive wheels managed accordingly by AI system components including; an adaptive robot control system, an autonomous coupling system and an autonomous charging system configured with processors, and subsystems including; user interface, Cloud-Based Analysis and Data Usage Network, a sensor I/O devices including; LIDAR, RADAR, an altitude gyroscope sensors and cameras for scanning surrounding objects in an environment, and an identifier scanning system configured for identifying users, mobile robots, drone devices and target objects in a work environment and in a game environment. The work environment can include a consigned robot and drone array to work inside a cargo vehicle to gather cargo boxes and packages for delivery, and the array of working mobile robot and subsequently the drone device transports the boxes and packages by a flight plan and by a land-based drone device drive mode in flight restricted zones, and the game environment includes real-time gameplay, virtual reality and augmented E Sports game platforms.

The present invention belongs to the field of robots, and relates to a soft ground crawling robot. Front wheels are connected on both sides of the front end of a body shell; a universal wheel is arranged on the rear end; rotary stepping motors are installed on both sides of a supporting assembly; an output shaft of the rotary stepping motor on each side passes through the body shell and then is connected with the front wheel on the same side; a swinging stepping motor is installed on the supporting assembly; the output shaft is connected with a connecting plate; the connecting plate is connected with the body shell through a connecting shaft; the body shell is driven to swing by the swinging stepping motor; lower end covers are rotatably connected on both sides of the body shell; a wheel bracket is connected to the rotary stepping motor on each side; and the wheel bracket on each side is connected with the lower end cover on the same side. The crawling robot of the present invention can crawl on all soft ground while moving in a plane, and overcome the phenomenon that some existing crawling robots cannot walk and work on the soft ground such as sand due to sinking.
