A traveling robot includes a body frame having a front wheel; a rear wheel
which is disposed on a rear side of the front wheel along a traveling
direction; a rear frame which supports the rear wheel and is supported by
the body frame so as to move vertically; a driving wheel which is
disposed between the front wheel and the rear wheel in the traveling
direction; a driving frame which supports the driving wheel and is
coupled to the body frame by a hinge whose axis is parallel to an axis of
the driving wheel; and a linkage member which is coupled to the driving
frame to be contacted with or separated from the rear frame as the
driving frame is rotated relative to the body frame.
