In this article the design procedure of a control system of a mobile robot with various modes of locomotion has been considered. The procedure is based on an embodied agent theory and focuses on the agent behaviours and transitions between them. The procedure was introduced to speed up and organize the whole controller development process. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is proved through control system development and experimental verification of the custom-built Lynx mobile robot with vertical and horizontal modes of locomotion.

The number of worldwide robotic competitions led to the conclusion that sport robotics became an important area of both entertainment and research. The competitions evolve to standardize assumptions for hardware and software of participating robots. This makes the tournament results impartial analogically to Formula 1 car racings. In sport robotics the standardization of competition environment still remains the problem for Line Follower robots. In the article we present research on the specification, development and verification of modularized boards for these robots
