Inorder to solve some outsanding shortcoming of traditional amphibious robots, and explore more possibilities in the field of robotics. In this paper, we present our novel spherical, amphibious mother-son robot system design, in which the spherical, amphibious mother robot performs a four-legged crawling movement on land. To reduce noise, increase concealment, send control signals, and provide energy to the son robot, the mother robot is equipped with a water-jet motor as an actuator under water. The son robot is wheel-driven on land and uses paddle wheels to perform amphibious movements. This novel, spherical amphibious mother-son robot system uses wireless communication via an XBee communications module. In this article, we describe the structure design, hardware structure, and the movement and communication methods used in the system. Additionally, we tested the land and underwater motions of the mother and son robots and verified the effectiveness of the designed system.
