“…When switched to the legged form, it had a high terrain adaptability. The amphibious automobile of similar structure may move on uneven mountain roads or soft swamps smoothly [20][21][22], and therefore, it can assist humans in field exploration [23], rescue and disaster relief [24,25]. However, the legged form of automobile moves slowly [20,23].…”

“…However, the legged form of automobile moves slowly [20,23]. Furthermore, it is difficult for the users to manipulate [21,24], and the overall motion stability is poor [20,25]. Thus, the amphibious automobile may be switched to the wheeled form on a flat surface for fast moving speed and good stability [21, 23 -25], and to the legged form again as driving into a complex terrain.…”

“…So far, there are sensing [19,23,55,[81][82][83], interactive [20][21][22]84,85], autonomous [25,83,86,87] and other types of reconfigurable automobiles and robots. However, there is still much room for improvement of intelligent reconfigurable factory to be capable of interacting with humans, "thinking" by themselves, and being completely unmanned.…”

With a period of development, the related technology of traditional manufacturing factories for automobiles are found with some common issues while improving. As such, the reconfigurable intelligent manufacturing factory of the automobiles is fast developed with focus on reconfigurability in structures, manufactures and algorithms, thus advancing the level of the reconfigurable intelligent manufacturing continuously. With a sufficient reconfigurable manufacturing technology as the basis, reconfigurability can be better introduced to the structure design and the driving algorithms of the automobiles. Reconfigurability provides a new bridge for transforming the traditional automobile to the reconfigurable automobile, and a new driving force for the upgrading of the reconfigurable driving algorithms.
