INTRODUCTION
Beyond traditional industrial applications, robots are increasingly present in our daily lives, with major fields of application including medicine, agriculture, security and home assistance. These robots are also increasingly mobile, capable of operating in air, sea and land environments. Land-mobile robotics have historically played an important role, particularly wheeled mobile robots, which use a particularly efficient rolling locomotion system. These robots are already used in industrial fields such as logistics, in agriculture with the automation of tractors, in space and planetary exploration, for security tasks such as area surveillance, or for search and rescue missions in the event of natural or industrial disasters. Over the past few years, they have also found their way into our homes, with autonomous vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers and, more recently, telepresence robots. More and more tasks will be carried out autonomously, often in cooperation with other robots or humans.
